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
