Lyrics
Up The Hill Backwards
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
A series of shocks, sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling, witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
Yea, yea, yea
Up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled
It's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
If one can grasp it
More idols than realities
I'm ok, you're so-so
Yea, yea, yea
Up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
