Intravenously yours..

Which way did you get lost?
Can you find yourself if you walk backwards?
I'll show you how I got in here,
I'll show you childhood pictures
I'll trade them for cheap love in the silence of the night

But it's up to you to remember
Remember that we were but single celled in the start
And went different ways only to play our part

I know that memory fails us
Memory fails, feelings change and children grow
Which was the way to school you'll someday ask
The classroom walls, the blackboard songs
Yes, they tell a tale, they are keepers of the flame

But it's up to you to remember
Remember that we were but single celled in the start
And went different ways only to play our part

Now we do it out of habit
Now we don't even hear the applause
We gather fallen dreams, the leftovers from our sleepwalking scenes
We recite rhymes to our children, prayers to our gods
We try and connect in the shadow of our desires

So if you walk backwards
If you understand what you feel, your sweat and your love
Will you tell me what it takes to play your part
What it takes to propogate and plant seeds in the dust
How it feels to know we were but single celled in the start
and before that, an unfinished act of someone else's lust....
