Don’t Look Back

Lyrics

Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back The man on the radio sang a sad, sad song to me The way it went was a mystery The beat it had was simple but strong And he knew it was right He knew it could never go on too long Go ahead and say it "It's already been going on too long" But see it's got a slip A little skip in its step Like a mobius strip Like an elegant game But it's no game It's a taunt and it's a tall order Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back The man on the radio sang like he meant every word Like it was the inside of my mind he heard Repeating in a monotone Crappy little details Giving me a thumbnail sketch of some distant wretch Bearing down It seemed so absurd, the way he ripped off all my thoughts The way he catalogued my haunts The way he wanted to be oppressed Second-guessed Whenever you might think it's over Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back The man on the radio worked to make that song a hit He had to eat on the back of it He had to give it a catch So, he sold that song to me Mismatched links in my misery And wormed its way through my heart, that hit Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back Don't look back, don't look back, don't look
