Backwards & Forwards Lyrics - Singles - Aztec Camera

Craze my hair and shine my shoes 

And kiss the kiss that I could lose 

And I looked at what I have 

And I have one wish 

And I looked back in your eyes 

And there were two words 

Backwards and forwards 

Here lies the essence of my peers 

Handshakes, hellos and golden years 

See it smiling through its teeth 

It's the whore who has to die 

Unhappy underneath 

And it's long learned not to show it 

Get backwards or forwards 

How come when I'm gone I get the blues? 

Or something special that I might confuse 

With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use 

It's cold to the touch and older than I know 

And when the world's with me too much 

I say she comes and then it goes 

Could completeness still appeal 

To one who thinks what he should feel? 

And it stares me in the face 

And holds me speechless 

And I look back in your eyes 

And see your eyes gaze 

See your eyes gaze into mine for ever
