The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath
Pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up
Is the new up
(Won't you be my girl?)
(Won't you be my girl?)
Your services are not required
(Won't you be my girl?)
Your future's bleak
(Won't you be my girl?)
You're so last week
Ladies and gentlemen
Without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180º flip-flop
I shall now amputate
I shall now contort
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flopped?
Down is the new up
Down is the new up
Down is the new up
Is the new up
(You crawled off and left us)
(You crawled off and left us)
Caught on candid camera
The chink in your armor
(You bastards, you bastards)
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
(You crawled off and left us)
(You crawled off and left us)
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
(You bastards, you bastards)
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
