(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)



Strange times in Portland, Maine

Lobsters dancing on the dock

Switzerland's been wierd since they unplugged the clocks

Man and a woman living in Brooklyn Heights

Each convinced that the other is in the wrong

Last year the divorce rate trippled in Hong Kong

If through all the madness

We can stick together

We're safe and sound

The world's just insode out and upside down



Flash from Mexico...the TOREADORS have all turned gay

Roman whores have quit to seek a better way

Dope has undermined the morale of the Buckingham Palace guards

Motorcycle gangs ride naked down Hollywood Boulevard

If through all the madness

We can stick together

We're safe and sound

The whole world's just turned insode out and upside down



Marahaj wants you to lead a pilgrimage to Tibet

New York women want me sounding off like a Suffragette

I know that each of us is alone in the end

But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend

If we stick together

You and me forever

We're safe and sound

The world's just turned inside out and upside down

The world's just turned insode out and upside down
