[PHOEBE]

An oyster shell itself is unassuming

But look inside, you'll find a pearl

The man who otherwise is unpresuming

May share the same blood as an Earl

Do not dismiss a woman of position

She can be tenderhearted, I've no doubt

The world be in awfully good condition

If we could all live

Inside out

Though Belladonna is my favorite flower

I love its shape and its perfume

You'd likely join the angels in an hour

Should you ingest its rather deadly bloom

The man who seems a paragon of virtue

May be a scoundrel better versed in sin

There would many fewer people who could hurt you

If we could all live

Outside in

And every one you'd meet

On any London street

If they be sweet or horrid

It would show

I would be overjoyed

The heartache I'd avoid

If I could look at you and know

And when I meet the man for whom I fated

I'd know the one I've waited for is he

For he will find these wealthy trappings overrated

And he will he see what no one sees in me

A girl who reads the classics

And

The sonnets

Who needs no folderol to fill her cup

A girl who thinks a bit beyond her bonnets

He'll be of gentle heart

And good reknown

He'll be the most admired man in town

He'll take a world that's mostly upside down

And turn it right side up

[PHOEBE]

If we lived inside out

The change in how we see would be immense

If we lived rightside left

Backside front

Would shed a better light

Black might just be white

Day might just be night

If we know the truth about each other inside

The world might just make sense [MONTY]

Or even outside in

The change in how we see would be immense

Or even leftside right

Or frontside back

Would shed a better light

Black might just be white

Day might just be night

If we know the truth about each other inside
