Lyrics[edit]

 I can  hear the
 scream of trumpets,
 smell the ash and sulfur.
 Talons of battalions
 scratch at the sky
 like black feathers
 and scorpion eyes. -- I don't
 attract - what I want. -- I
 attract what I am. -- As
 dead as the bees, -- buzzing
 inside my head. -- Hold my
 hand, -- and spin around. --
 Hold my hand -- and spin
 around. -- Hold my hand and
 spin around.
 
 THIS IS HEAVEN
 UPSIDE DOWN.
 
 And I tried to look inside
 you, -- I ended up looking
 through you. Now you try to
 tell me you're not a ghost.
 And I tried to look inside
 you, -- I ended up looking
 through you.
 Now you try to tell me
 you're not a ghost. -- I
 don't attract what I want
 -- I attract what I am. --
 Dead as the bee, -- buzzing
 inside my head. -- And I
 tried to look inside you
 I ended up looking though
 you -- Now you try to tell
 me, -- You're not a ghost.
 -- And I tried to look
 inside you
 I ended up looking though
 you -- Now you try to tell
 me, -- You're not a ghost?
 -- You're not a ghost?
 -- Not a ghost... -- Not a
 ghost...
 Not a ghost... -- Not a
 ghost... -- Hold my hand
 Spin around -- Holy my
 hand -- And spin around
 -- Hold my hand and spin
 around
 
 THIS IS HEAVEN
 UPSIDE DOWN.
 
 And I tried to look inside
 you -- I ended you looking
 through you
 Now you try to tell me,
 You're not a ghost.
 Not a ghost?
