[Verse 1]
I'm upside-down, the birds flew away
And the oceans emptied out
And the skies turned gray and the ground split open
I tumbled down into a cavern
[Chorus]
I can't cry anymore
And I can't catch my breath

Never been good since she told me
[Outro]
My eyes flip 'round, now I'm upside-down
The pressure mounts, now I'm upside-down
