Andrew Bird - Opposite Day lyrics
[Andrew Bird - Opposite Day lyrics]
I got home this morning with the
Sun right in my eyes
And there was no warning as it
Took me by surprise as it
Hit me like an act of God, causing my alarm
That I had not become a cephalopod
I still had legs and arms
Yes I still had legs and arms
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is
Suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah
Yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Was supposed to be, today was supposed to be
Opposite day
Those that can't quite function
In society at large
They're going to wake up on this morning
And find that they're in charge
But those the world's set up for
Who are really doing quite well
They're going to wake up in institutions
In prison or in hell prison or in hell
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is
Suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah
Yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day it was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be opposite day
But, if you think there's something else
Well, you're right, there is
There's something else
But, if you think I'm gonna tell you
Think again why should I even think of
Telling you what there is?
Yeah, cause silence is knowledge
And knowledge is power
I'm under explicit orders to dare
Not speak it's name
Listen up, I just work here
Oh, I dare not speak it's name
I can't keep talking about it
Oh, I dare not speak it's name
Sun right in my eyes
And there was no warning as it
Took me by surprise as it
Hit me like an act of God, causing my alarm
That I had not become a cephalopod
I still had legs and arms
Yes I still had legs and arms
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is
Suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah
Yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Was supposed to be, today was supposed to be
Opposite day
Those that can't quite function
In society at large
They're going to wake up on this morning
And find that they're in charge
But those the world's set up for
Who are really doing quite well
They're going to wake up in institutions
In prison or in hell prison or in hell
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is
Suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah
Yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day it was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be opposite day
But, if you think there's something else
Well, you're right, there is
There's something else
