Yo La Tengo

Upside-down

Yo La Tengo


Mary calls from far away 
sure there is another 
Walks the floor cause she can't settle down 
Waiting for the phone to ring 
Stuck inside the bedroom 
Drinks too much to make the room spin round 
When she sits down 
No one knows the world is upside-down 
Watches how it spins around 
No one knows the world is upside-down 
Knowing if she'll just admit 
one revealing detail 
She can't hide her state of mind behind 
She sits down 
No one knows the world is upside-down 
Watches how it spins around 
No one knows the world is upside-down 
Everybody wants to be the lucky guy 
They're just uncertain how to please her 
Everybody stops to see the setting sun 
They're not just looking for the time 
Caring not what people say at other people's parties 
Mary finds someone and settles down 
She sits down 
No one knows the world is upside-down 
Watches how it spins around 
No one knows the world is upside-down
