Craze my hair and shine my shoes   And kiss the kiss that I could lose   And I looked at what I have   And I have one wish   And I looked back in your eyes   And there were two words   Backwards and forwards      Here lies the essence of my peers   Handshakes, hellos and golden years   See it smiling through its teeth   It's the whore who has to die   Unhappy underneath   And it's long learned not to show it   Get backwards or forwards      How come when I'm gone I get the blues?   Or something special that I might confuse   With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use   It's cold to the touch and older than I know   And when the world's with me too much   I say she comes and then it goes      Could completeness still appeal   To one who thinks what he should feel?   And it stares me in the face   And holds me speechless   And I look back in your eyes   And see your eyes gaze   See your eyes gaze into mine for ever
