The song is about abortion. All the clues are there, some veiled, some more blatant. It's from the point of view of the fetus/infant.

Slaughterhouse of love... naked as I can be... Labyrinth is only one straight line (birth canal)... You are the air that I breathe... Sweet annihilation in your hands.... Rollercoasterin' in the dark (I can't think of a better way to describe the life of a fetus in utero)... come and join this nightmare upside down (I think that is closer to correct than what is given, the fetus is upside down)... You prayed for rain and I fell down (down the birth canal?)... I'll be choking on my ABCs...

It's an amazing song, I love it, in spite of the sadness of it. I didn't include all of the lyric/explanations above that point to this meaning, but it's there.

Song Meaning

I think Fidley's take on that line is correct. "Come and turn this nightmare upside down"
