Back Up
(Listen) clip
It's a cold night
Crowded downtown
Garbage in the subway don't smell too nice
But he feels safer underground
In his dream
All the lights blend together
He walks across the street to buy a new pair of feet
And he thinks they'll last forever
Chorus
Back up back up to the beginning
Back up before it all ends he's got to
Back up back up to the beginning
Back up and try to start again
Followed the moon
Across the lazy river
Made it to the bank after his raft sank
And had nothing left to give her
But she didn't care
She just stared out her window
She said, " I never thought you'd make it back
So I let you go."
Chorus
In the pool hall
Playing pinball
Plays it 'cause he likes the lights
And he's waiting for something but he don't know what
It's been driving him crazy
He says, "Hey bartender if they call me again
Tell them I'm leaving this life I'm in.
"cause when I get up in the morning I'm missing a part
Just tell them I've gone to overhaul my heart."
Chorus
