Upside Looking Down Lyrics - Circus Money - Walter Becker

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
