[00:16.68]Craze my hair and shine my shoes

[00:23.58]And kiss the kiss that I could lose

[00:30.48]And I looked at what I have

[00:36.54]And I have one wish

[00:40.51]And I looked back in your eyes

[00:45.73]And there were two words

[00:49.08]Backwards and forwards

[00:54.09]Here lies the essence of my peers

[01:01.82]Handshakes, hellos and golden years

[01:11.02]See it smiling through its teeth

[01:16.24]It's the whore who has to die

[01:20.21]Unhappy, underneath

[01:25.65]And it's long learned not to show it

[01:30.87]Get backwards and forwards

[01:38.18]How come when I'm gone I get the blues

[01:49.26]Or something special that I might confuse

[01:52.39]With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use

[01:56.99]It's cold to the touch and older than I know

[02:00.55]And when the worlds with me too much

[02:03.68]I say she comes and then it goes

[02:05.77]Could completeness still appeal

[02:38.79]To one who thinks what he should feel

[02:47.98]And it stares me in the face

[02:53.00]And holds me speechless

[02:56.55]And I look back in your eyes

[03:02.40]And see your eyes gaze

[03:06.36]See your eyes gaze into mine

[03:11.81]Forever

[03:19.54]🎵
