[INTRO/CHORUS]
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
[VERSE 1]
One fine summer day
I watched a crappy movie
The movie had nothing to do with anything
We were laughing our heads off, that summer day
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
I opened the door and it was raining outside
Drops splashing on the concrete
The underpass is filled with people
Listen to the thunder rumbling over and over
[CHORUS]
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
[VERSE 2]
The loudest voices can echo around
Look at the woman screaming, watch her
It's like a movie with nothing to do with anything
What a strange summer day
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
I've been walking for a long time, in the dark of the night
Holding the guardrail wet with rain
Like a lame, unsuccessful comedian
Three times, I did that stupid gag
[PRE-CHORUS 3]
Time went by so fast
It's just one of those days that crosses your eyebrows
On the wet crosswalk to the station
I punched your left shoulder
[CHORUS]
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
The two who were turned upside down
[BRIDGE/OUTRO]
That summer afternoon (the two who were turned upside down)
I just watched a stupid movie (the two who were turned upside down)
In the voice of a screaming woman (the two who were turned upside down)
Remembering that day today (the two who were turned upside down)
Do a horizontal chop (the two who were turned upside down)
That hot summer afternoon
