[Verse 1: Elizabeth Fraser]
I looked up at the tallest building
Felt it falling down
I could feel my balance shifting
Everything was moving around
These streets so fixed and solid
Ah shimmering haze
And everything that I relied on disappeared

[Chorus: Paul Buchanan]
Downside-up, upside down
Take my weight from the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping in to the unknown

[Verse 2: Paul Buchanan]
All the strangers look like family
All the family looks so strange
The only constant I am sure of
Is this accelerating rate of change

[Chorus: Elizabeth Fraser & Paul Buchanan, Paul Buchanan]
Downside up, upside down
Take my weight off the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping in the unknown
[Verse 3: Elizabeth Fraser, Elizabeth Fraser & Paul Buchanan]
I stand here
Watch you spinning
Until I am drawn in
A centripetal force
You pull me in

[Bridge: Elizabeth Fraser, Paul Buchanan, Elizabeth Fraser, Paul Buchanan & Peter Gabriel]
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in

Ovo, ovo, ovo
Ovo, ovo, ovo
Ovo, ovo, ovo

Ovo, ovo, ovo
Ovo, ovo, ovo
Ovo, ovo, ovo

[Chorus: Paul Buchanan, Elizabeth Fraser]
Downside-up
Upside down
Take my weight off the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping into the unknown
