Upside Down
Eggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to live my life on the road
Think of every city I'd get to know
We could take it fast or put it in slow
But either way I know that I got to go

I'd like to live my life aboard the ship
I don't think I'd ever get tired of it
We could sway or we could soar
Through the ocean far away from the shore

You gotta take time to make time
'Cause there ain't no time for wastin'
All I'm sayin' is I'd go crazy
If I kept it the same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Or maybe I could be a clown
Spinnin' through the circus upside down
Or be the ballerina on the tips of my toes
Be the swinger dancin' the do-si-do

I live in a world of fantasy
Sometimes my indecision gets the best of me
I've tried a lot, I've done a lot of things
Maybe one day I will find my swing

You gotta take time to make time
'Cause there ain't no time for wastin'
All I'm saying is I'd go crazy




If I kept it the same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

As someone cruising towards old manhood it makes me proud to know that REAL music will NOT die. Easy to see why after 184 views I'm only the third commenter, I guess it's because I'm a little bit speechless myself
