Over here
don't change the subject again
the clouds are looking at me kind of strange
as I venture further and further into the wind

I passed one, and then another
I heard the voice of a woman speaking
but I knew not what she said
the words were in French

Could I be looking down over myself?
Why does this all seem so distant?
I feel dizzy and weak; however
my heart feels stronger than ever

Both sides of my head seem to be as one
possibly for the first time ever
All that is wrong seems right
All that is alive seems dead

I'm walking backwards through my life
one step at a time
looking forward, at what lays ahead
