Lately, I don't see the right way
I like to see things my way
I like to see them sideways
I see no place to live or die while trying
When everyone I know is dying
And there's no saving grace
Deep under the soil
There's a boy for every girl
And a girl for every boy
A prize for tears and toil
It's you, it's you...
My mind was trained to think that when it rots away
Somehow I will float away
That's not how I was made
Of the many Gods, and I've had plenty
I lost my fear to pity
And now I'm truly saved
Deep under the soil
There's a girl for every boy
And a boy for every girl
A prize for tears and toil
It's you, it's you...
No more records for the lightweights
No one's singing them sideways
No matter where I look or whether
I'm looking in the right place
Don't need to pack a suitcase
With no choice, every little boy and girl
Will end up in the same place
Seeing these things sideways
We're all sideways
Oh, we're all sideways
