Walking Backwards

Falling snowflakes, melting in the sun

Dead end sweepstakes, heaven's growing numb

Weekend sandman, stealing innocence

Conscious dreaming last line of defense

Why do we walk backwards down a road that never ends

Not knowing where we're going

Just seeing where we've been

Can't find no direction though we try hard to pretend

That we're not walking backwards but we are again and again

Is it too late to change?

Velvet roses, blinded by the heat

Teenage grownups passing on their painted legacies

Why do we walk backwards down a road that never ends

Not knowing where we're going

Just seeing where we've been

Can't find no direction though we try hard to pretend

That we're not walking backwards but we are, again and again and again

Is it too late to change?

Ivory castles all fall down

False religions being crowned

Politicians tied and bound

We have to make a stand today, the time has come for us to change

Why do we walk backwards down a road that never ends

Not knowing where we're going

Just seeing where we've been

Can't find no direction though we try hard to pretend

That we're not walking backwards but we are again and again and again

Is it too late to change?

Why do we walk backwards down a road that never ends

Not knowing where we're going

Just seeing where we've been

Can't find no direction though we try hard to pretend

That we're not walking backwards but we are again and again and again

Is it too late to change?
