Intro

D D E (x3)

Verse

Look out your window That grass ain't green  
It's kinda yellow See what I mean?
Look up your chimney The sky ain't blue  
It's kinda yellow You know it's true

Pre-Chorus

It's so hard to figure what it's all abooooooouuuuuuuuuuut

Chorus

When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
don't it make you wanna twist and shout when you're inside out

Verse

Look down your drain pipe What color do you see?  
It's got to be yellow Don't try to fool me

Pre-Chorus

And don't it make you wanna twist and shooooooouuuuuuuut

Chorus

When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out

Bridge

Be careful where you're walking
You might step in something rough
Be careful when you're talking
And saying all that stuff
Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air
There's something they're not saying
'bout what's happening out there
It's inside out

Verse

Look into the future. With-your mystic crystal ball 
See if it ain't yellow See if it's there at all

Pre-Chorus

Ain't no shadow of a doubt ahh-ahhhhhhh
Don't it make you wanna twist and shooooooouuuuuuuuuuuut

Chorus

When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
