If you suppose I always go

Up the river heave and ho

Against the current, up the flow,

Backwards

I used to know just what to do

And what was what, and who was who,

That was before I came unglued,

Backwards

You thought that I was just a child

And yet a look, and yet a smile

Left alone to weep and while

Backwards

You left me there and went ahead

Left me unshod left me undead

My little heart all full of dread

Backwards

And I suppose that’s where I’ll stay

The who I was all locked away

Looking forward to yesterday,

Backwards
