[Verse 1]
Well the Lovers came out backwards on a Sunday afternoon
And the Chariot was stuck beneath a cold and crooked moon
She said, Paul, what's it mean when they're upside down
I said, darlin', somethin's blocked, but it'll come around
[Verse 2]
A reversed card ain't a curse, it's a door that's stuck
It's a lesson that you're dodgin', it ain't just bad luck
It's the energy that's waitin' for you to clear the way
It's the river that's been dammed up, waitin' on the day
[Chorus]
When your cards come upside down
And your world's spinnin' round
Paul Hesch'll turn 'em right side up
At Mister Hesch dot com
When your cards come upside down
Don't you let it bring you down
'Cause every card reversed is a song not yet sung
[Verse 3]
The Sun reversed is joy you're scared to let inside
The Empress turned around is love you've learned to hide
The Ace of Cups is flowin' but it's spillin' on the floor
You just gotta tip it up and let it fill once more
[Chorus]
When your cards come upside down
And your world's spinnin' round
Paul Hesch'll turn 'em right side up
At Mister Hesch dot com
When your cards come upside down
Don't you let it bring you down
'Cause every card reversed is a song not yet sung
[Verse 4]
I've had seasons in my life when everything was flipped
When my plans were turned around and my anchor slipped
But I learned to read the backwards as a sign to wait
And the right side always came, never late
[Verse 5]
So don't you fear the cards that tumble out reversed
Don't you think that it means you're the one that's cursed
It's just the cards a-tellin' you to take a closer look
At a page you skipped too quick in your own life's book
[Chorus]
When your cards come upside down
And your world's spinnin' round
Paul Hesch'll turn 'em right side up
At Mister Hesch dot com
When your cards come upside down
Don't you let it bring you down
'Cause every card reversed is a song not yet sung
