[Verse 1]
\nThe attitude
\n(Of the latitude)
\n90 degrees
\n(Oh, please)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTo the contrary
\n(Longitude is arbitrary)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt’s undefined
\n(All the time)
\nIt’s up to you
\n(Anything you want it to….)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEvery which way
\n(Is down, down, down)
\nThat is if you say
\n(The top is spinning round)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTo the contrary
\n(Longitude is arbitrary)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt’s undefined
\n(All the time)
\nIt’s up to you
\n(Anything you want it to….)<\/p>\n

{Verse 3]
\nIs this ground zero
\n(Oh, I don’t know)
\nBut it sure is rude
\n(Having no longitude)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTo the contrary
\n(Longitude is arbitrary)
\n[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt’s undefined
\n(All the time)
\nIt’s up to you
\n(Anything you want it to….)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDo you know which way’s best
\n(East to West)
\nIf you could remind
\n(That’d be so kind)
\nI can’t seem to get ’round
\n(To getting down)
\nDown, down, down<\/p>\n
