When you were a kid you received no good instruction And your mother was nowhere to be found The lies were yelled and the truth was seldom spoken That's what you get when Margaret comes to town She likes to keep things upside down When Margaret comes to town When your thoughts are twisted and distoreted And your children are forced to choose sides and lie down And the keeper is screaming drunk running around naked It's for your pleasure When Margaret comes to town She likes to keep things upside down When Margaret comes to town Oh, but those who believe in her They cut off their noses to spite their faces Leaving you the little one scared and lonely Who really cares about you now So if you see her coming man you'd better take cover She stays down at the dark end of a frown And just like the sirens that are so sweetly singing It's better just to leave when Margaret comes to town When margaret comes to twon She likes to keep things upside down When margaret comes to town She likes to keep things upside down When Margaret comes to town
