Upside Down Frown

They Might Be Giants · The Else [2007]

You say you've got some very excellent news

You say I'm going to die when you tell me

And in my way, I will

But though your words will kill

I know you'll think that I don't seem to care



It's just because my frown is upside down

It's upside down, my frown

Is upside down



I'm happy at your happiness as well

Your anger makes me mad

Though you can't tell

Believe me when I say

I'm with you in my private way

And though you think I'm trying to blow you off



It's only that my frown is upside down

It's upside down, my frown

Is upside down

My frown's upside down



You'd probably like to give me a smack

But there's something about my face

That always keeps you coming back



When I'm with you, the landscape goes all weird

Black is white, and the rainbow has a beard

Are your eyes playing tricks

Or should you get your glasses fixed?

Well, I don't think your eyesight is to blame



The problem is my frown is upside down

It's upside down, my frown

Is upside down

My frown's upside down

It's upside down, my frown

Is upside down

My frown's upside down
