The coke bottle windows
Scattered sunlight
Fill the phone line with static
In the hallway at night

Found walkin backwards
When things went well: forwards
Believes that he's Jesus
Of the western ward

She's in the corner
Prying stone from a sword
For all the mistakes
She could never afford

Took a highway divider
ccross his face
Before he was banished
To this desolate place

Caught walkin backwards
Rarely goes forward
Competing for Jesus
Of the western ward

c steel back now broken
cn anvil for a sigh
c mirror with tiny pins and
Needles for eyes

They've all fallen more times
Than they could afford
Some aren't even in it
Of their own accord

Kept walkin backwards
Forgotten how forwards
They're competing for Jesus
Of the western ward

I know you're still around
I can hear it in every little
Sound you make.
That's what I say
When they tell me to pray

They've all fallen more times
Than they could afford
Some aren't even in it
Of their own accord

Kept walkin backwards
Forgotten how forwards
Competing for Jesus
Of the western ward

Kept walkin backwards
Forgotten how forwards
Competing for Jesus
Of the western ward
