What Goes On
Mind's Upside Down: Unveiling The Feelies' Musical Rollercoaster
Lyrics
What goes on in your mind?
Questioning what thoughts occupy the listener's mind
I think that I am falling down.
Feeling like one is losing control or stability
What goes on in your mind?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's thoughts
I think that I am upside down.
Sensing disorientation or confusion
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Encouragement to behave correctly, assuring positive outcomes
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
Reiteration of urging good behavior and positive results
I'm going up, and I'm going down.
Experiencing fluctuating emotions or situations
I'm going from side to side.
Describing movement from one state to another
See the bills, up in the sky,
Observing something high above (bills) in the sky
Somebody's cut their string in two.
Suggesting someone's abrupt disconnection or separation
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Encouraging proper behavior for positive outcomes (repeated)
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
Reiteration of the advice for positive outcomes
One minute born, one minute doomed,
Contrasting extreme transitions in life from birth to downfall
One minute up, one minute down.
Highlighting rapid shifts between opposing situations
What goes on in your mind?
Repeating the earlier inquiry into the listener's thoughts
I think that I am falling down.
Echoing the feeling of losing control or stability
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Encouragement for proper behavior leading to positive results (repeated)
Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
Reiteration of advice for positive outcomes
