Upside Looking Down

Well you came on like some blazing supernova
 With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky
 Then you woke up and your long white night was over
 And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by
 Now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows
 Dealing dirty while you steal the higher ground
 But you cheated and you lied
 And life took you for a ride
 Now you're standing on the upside
 Looking down
 And O the hero in disguise
 Believing his own alibis
 You run so scared you're standing still
 I know you are — I know you will
 Be the first to call it quits and run for cover
 While your little world is crumbling all around
 But you punked out on yourself
 You can't blame nobody else
 Now that you're standing on the upside
 Looking down
 And O the heartache of the thief
 Strung out on his own stash of grief
 A line for you — a flake for me
 But now it's ancient history
 When the sky is turning black and glassing over
 As you drift so high above the lights of town
 All at once it seems so clear
 You can see it all from here
 When you're standing on the upside
 Looking down
