Lyrics to Walking Backwards

Strange river rolling

Moved as it pushed by green

Cigarette ash falling from the sky

Why you gotta be so mean

Dinner at the rues

No earth to cling to

The trees take off their clothes

As they lay down on the road

Thinking about a film back home

Moved it to be closer

I had a sight to see

What bribes the wholesome

To trade in vitality

I can't find no eyes to lock with mine

Nowhere we can drive when the city is dying

Dogs bark in tunnels

The shadows have gone to sleep

Ink on the walls and ink on the arms

Walking backwards in my father's dream

Seeds all twisted

Myth of fertility

The colors all gone with the birds for a new song

What will become of me

Moved it to be closer

I had a sight to see

What bribes the wholesome

To trade in vitality

I can't find no eyes to lock with mine

Nowhere we can drive when the city is dying

I can't find no eyes to lock with mine

Nowhere we can drive when the city is dying

Take it slow, pale in breaths

And my body's a mess

Take it slow, pale in breaths

And my body's a mess

I can't find no eyes to lock with mine

Nowhere we can drive when the city is dying

I can't find no eyes to lock with mine

Nowhere we can drive when the city is dying
