Backward

Where's the map
To a path
A straight line without regret
I have a wish
For dreams that twist
With the barbed wire of a broken fence
Water flows up a hill
And wraps around a tree

Backward, sideways, upside-down
Backward

Where to step
From a floating bed
When the ground is burning overhead
Lighting strikes
A thousand times
The ocean bends across my breast
A fallen tiger lays below
The heartbeat of a sleeping doe

Backward, sideways, upside-down
Backward

The bottom of my coffee cup
Full of faces looking up
A cabaret, a rodeo
I ride in my own picture show

Backward, sideways, upside-down
Backward

Frozen leaves
In the desert heat
The sea cracks beneath my feet
An open flame
In the vacuum of space
I row my boat to another place
There's nothing I can do
But follow this burning heart

Backward, sideways upside-down
Backward
Upside-down
Backward
