If I was to say to you that I don't care about anybody,
that I don't care about houses or money
would you, could you
tell me this is what your life is for?
tell me this is what your body's for?

Hey presto, you've said it, I'm backwards

All I do is think about a random life,
all I do is try not to be myself
try not to bore myself
I've been kissing the dice man
I'm in love with a shadow
but even so, even so

Hey presto, you've said it, I'm backwards

Hell of a time to know
Hell of a time to know I've no meaning

I'm no different from anyone
I'm no different from anyone
but have I tried, have I tried?

Hey presto, you've said it, I'm backwards

I'll take care, I'll take care
I'll take care, I'll take care
I'll take care, I'll take care
Here's on the ground
I'll take care, I'll take care
I'll take care, I'll take care
I'll take care, I'll take care
Here's on the ground

I told you one time
I told you two times
I told you three times
Why don't you ever listen?
