Upside Down Lyrics
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own ?
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking ?"
Well I dreamed, I dreamed...
I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down
Well I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay
Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down ?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down"
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking ?"
I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down ?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down"

Ahhh... seems to be Tori's evaluation of life. Nothing's as it seems, and sometimes everything's OK - or better - upside down.
Suits my mood today completely.
It sounds to me like a woman that goes against the norm and the standard view of how a woman should act. And of course, people talk about it: "Chatter, chatter".
She does have doubts about it: "You see, I'm afraid I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down".
Makes me think of someone who really doesn't have a clue and is very naive - like a newborn. The voice in her head is kind of playfully teasing her for making a poor judgement or mistake - 'and it says girl you're all the same, still coming out of your mother upside down' - you still haven't learned, and you haven't taken any wisdom from previous experiences.
Things are never going to make total sense on this earth, but we can find happiness within ourselves and work toward that happiness???? Just my two cents...
