Andrew Bird - Opposite Day lyrics
Your rating:
I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes Therewas no warning as it took me by surprise Hit me like an act of god causing my alarm That I'd not become a cephalopod I still had legs and arms Still had legs and arms And today was s'posed to be the day Molecules decided to change their form The law of physics lose their sway Youthful indiscretion is Suddenly the norm with good kids sprouting horns And today was s'pose to be Not just another day Today was s'pose to be Opposite day And those who can't quite function In societyat large Are gonnawake up on this morning And find that they're in charge While those the worlds set up for Who are really doing quite well Gonna wake up institutions In prison or in hell And today was s'posed to be Opposite day But if you think there's something else Well your right there is something else But if you think Im gonna tell you Think agian why should I think of telling you What there is Because silence is knowledge and knowledge is power I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name No I dare not speak its name Listen! I just work here No I dare not speak its name
