Lyrics

[Chorus]
Has the world stopped turning 'round?
Friend, it feels upside down
Right became wrong and all the new songs
Went up on a shelf
Now I'm breaking my back for the man
Just doing what I can
Until I'm free
It's so hard to see me beside myself
[Verse 1]
I thought life was hard enough
Chasing after my muse
Now it's all back to square one
Son of a gun, I've no mind to lose
[Chorus]
Since the world stopped turning 'round
Friend, it feels upside down
Right became wrong and all the new songs
Went up on a shelf
Now I'm breaking my back for the man
Just doing what I can
Until I'm free
It's so hard to see me beside myself
[Verse 2]
I thought life was strange enough
Trippin' 'round the sun
Now it's all come unraveled
I didn't travel this far to be done
[Chorus]
Has the world stopped turning 'round?
Friend, it feels upside down
Right became wrong and all the new songs
Went up on a shelf
Now I'm breaking my back for the man
Just doing what I can
Until I'm free
It's so hard to see me beside myself
[Instrumental]
Nights could not last long enough
We thought they'd never end
Lights could not shine bright enough
We'll light them up again
[Chorus]
Has the world stopped turning 'round?
Friend, it feels upside down
Right became wrong and all the new songs
Went up on a shelf
Now I'm breaking my back for the man
Just doing what I can
Until I'm free
It's so hard to see me beside myself
[Instrumental]
Has the world stopped turning 'round?
Friend, it feels upside down
Right became wrong and all the new songs
Went up on a shelf
Now I'm breaking my back for the man
Just doing what I can
Until I'm free
It's so hard to see me beside myself
I'm just beside myself
Oh, I'm beside myself
