Close your eyes and pretend
Let's begin at the end
One step forward, two steps back
I'm on my feet, I'm on my back
Hands are shaking, my elbows click
My knees give out, I'm giving in
Take these pills for your nerves
Feel your blood in reverse
My eyes are open, my mouth is shut
My hand is out, I'm giving up
One step forward, two steps back
My singing's sharp, but my tone is flat
After five long years waiting
Making records not babies, Yeah
