on the other side of the world
there is an inversion of you
there is an upside-down girl
how did i get myself into this mess
is the question she's asking herself i guess
and her answer is there are no answers
please don't romance her

well i hate to tell you this but we are in
you're not supposed to be upside-down
so that's supposed to be a smile, not a frown
how did i get myself into this mess
is the question you've got to ask yourself i guess
and your answer is to look right at me
and to head straight for me

i can't believe my eyes
you must be looking for some other guy
some other guy wouldn't understand
you're a complex girl, i'm a complex man
and we can't be bothered with you people anymore

don't call it a comeback but i guess i'm back
it took a while for me to wake up
now it's time for me to put up or shut up
to stand up or give up
you may not be the only one for me
but please say you'll be the next
and it may be stupid
it may lead to tragedy
it may lead to heartbreak
double heartbreak but i think it's worth it

on the other side of the world
there's a million beautifully tragic, fucked-up girls
how did i get myself into this mess
is the question you've gotta ask yourself i guess
and my answer is there are no answers
but i think it's worth it

my sensors have gone awry
you should be looking for some other guy
some other guy wouldn't understand
you're a complex girl, i'm a complex man
and we can't be bothered
with you people anymore, anymore, anymore
