Falling snowflakes, melting in the sun
   Dead end sweepstakes, heaven's growing numb
   Weekend sandman, stealing innocence
   Conscious dreaming last line of defense
  
   Whey 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
  
   Whey 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
