I'm not surprised it's come to this
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
Behind that kiss a promise a life of bliss
Yeah, great, I won't be taking the bait

I'd rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Imagine everything you've done
Under a microscope on view for everyone
And if the king of circumspection's here
He's come in vain, I won't be sharing the blame

I wear the crown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Nothing's good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I've made my mind up and I'll never be

The kind of man to make a choice
If I hold my tongue, for I'll never lose my voice
And each attempted act of sabatage destroys all hope,
Although I won't be needing the rope

I'm gagged and bound
And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

And if the genie were set free
And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me
I'll bury my three wishes deep down in the ground
So I will not turn my life upside down

Though I appreciate the aim
Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame
I only use it to make everything the same again
So don't applaud till the end.

I'm not around
Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Nothings good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I've made my mind up
I won't make a sound

And I will not turn my whole life upside down
Oooh and I will not turn my whole life upside down.
