\n[Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Uh-oh…
\nSomething gleaming’s leaning.<\/p>\n
A little bit unfit…<\/p>\n
Tipsy.
\n(Hard to see?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nStanding straight
\nOr so I thought
\nDidn’t notice
\nWhat I’d lost<\/p>\n
One little tilt
\nOne little sway
\nAnd suddenly
\nI’m on my way<\/p>\n
Push too far
\nAnd you may find
\nGravity
\n… made up my mind<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nLeaning!
\n(The meaning…)<\/p>\n
Teeter!
\n(Totter!)<\/p>\n
Getting closer
\nTo the meter!<\/p>\n
Tilt!
\n(Tilt!)<\/p>\n
Slip!
\n(Slip!)<\/p>\n
There goes
\nThe grip!<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nI’m feeling…
\n(A little tipsy)
\nGone reeling
\n(Oopsie daisy)
\nGone crazy<\/p>\n
(Jostling)
\nFrom the top
\n(Toppling)
\nTo the bottom
\n(Never again)
\nTo begin<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nOne small movement
\nStarts another
\nSends me hellbent
\nHate to have to smother<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Progressive-Rock Guitar Solo: Angular Guitar Lines Over Lurching Bass, Rolling Drums, Hammond Organ and Pitch-Bending Synth]<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nThe world suddenly
\nTurns upside down.
\n(No… still spinning round n’ round)<\/p>\n
[Rap Vocal Break]
\nTipsy!
\n(Tipsy!)<\/p>\n
Teeter!
\n(Totter!)<\/p>\n
Don’t ignore
\nThe little meter<\/p>\n
Jostle!
\n(Hustle!)<\/p>\n
Rock!
\n(Rocked!)<\/p>\n
Watch the balance
\nStart to unlock<\/p>\n
Toppling!
\n(Tippling!)<\/p>\n
Down!
\n(Down, down, down!)<\/p>\n
One change
\n(Two!)<\/p>\n
Two change
\n(Three!)<\/p>\n
Watch the cascades
\n(Come to be)<\/p>\n
Never again?
\n(Won’t happen!)<\/p>\n
Can’t put Humpty
\n(Back together again)
\nCan’t you see…
\n(Don’t know where to begin)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Bass, Sparse Piano and Distant Guitar Harmonics]<\/p>\n
I’m feeling…<\/p>\n
[Whispered]<\/p>\n
A little tipsy.<\/p>\n
Gone reeling…<\/p>\n
[Soft Response]<\/p>\n
Oopsie daisy.<\/p>\n
[Pause]<\/p>\n
Gone crazy.<\/p>\n
[Jostling]<\/p>\n
From the top…<\/p>\n
[Low Response]<\/p>\n
Toppling…<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
To the bottom.
\n(Watch it happen)<\/p>\n
[Whispered]<\/p>\n
Never again…<\/p>\n
[Pause]<\/p>\n
To begin.<\/p>\n
(Fell down, down down)
\nBroke his crown<\/p>\n
[Build]
\n[Drums gradually return; bass begins a repeating descending-and-rising pattern]<\/p>\n
Round…<\/p>\n
And round…<\/p>\n
And round…<\/p>\n
[Full Band]<\/p>\n
We go!<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nI’m feeling…
\n(A little tipsy)
\nGone reeling
\n(Oopsie daisy)
\nGone crazy<\/p>\n
(Jostling)
\nFrom the top
\n(Toppling)
\nTo the bottom
\n(Never again)
\nTo begin<\/p>\n

[Spoken Over Instrumental]
\nCan’t you see
\n(You can’t begin)
\nNo, can’t put Humpty
\n(Back together again)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Wobbly Guitar Figure Slowly Straightens Into a Steady Chord; Bass and Drums Fade]<\/p>\n
A little tipsy…<\/p>\n
A little jostling…<\/p>\n
A little change…<\/p>\n
[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n
Then…
\nThat’s when
\nYou can see
\n(You can’t begin)
\nNo, can’t you can’t begin
\n(To put Humpty back together again)<\/p>\n
