You Live Your Life In Reverse

You live your life in reverse

"And what's coming up next..."

It happens first

Is it a blessing or a curse?

(On the way out, on the way in)

You live your life in reverse

Heading towards way back when,

There was here and now was then

I don't know if I can/can't do it all again

This is getting a little too zen...

The final word you spoke was clear

ly the first thing you will ever hear

A child cast in the role of Lear

But in the limelight there's real tears

I don't want to talk about it

How you broke my heart

I don't want to think about it

How things fall apart, from the very start

You lived your life in reverse

Towards the cradle from the hearse

It'll get better after it gets worse

"Go to press!" cries Mr Randall Hurst

There's a sense of deja vu

You spin an old tale all anew

These memories things your moving through

Are things you pretend you never knew

But you will you did and you do...

You live your life in reverse

From a frail thing to a baby fit to burst

Stealing coins from mama's purse

You live your life in reverse
