[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
