Safe and Sound lyrics

Strange times in Portland, Maine

Lobsters dancing on the dock

Switzerland's been weird since they unplugged

the clocks

Man and a woman in Brooklyn Heights

Each convinced the other's in the wrong

While last year the divorce rate tripled in Hong Kong

If through all the madness

We can stick together

We're safe and sound

The world's just inside out and upside down

Flash from Mexico: The toreadors have all turned gay

Roman whores have quit to seek a better way

Dope has undermined the morale of the Buckingham Palace guards

Motorcycle gangs ride naked down Hollywood Boulevard

If through all the madness

We can stick together

We're safe and sound

The world's just inside out and upside down

Maharaj wants you to lead a pilgrimage to Tibet

New York women want me sounding off like

a suffragette

I know that each of us is all alone in the end

But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend

If we stick together

You and me forever

We're safe and sound

The world's just inside out and upside down

The world's just inside out and upside down
