UP THE HILL BACKWARD

Music and Lyrics by David Bowie from the album Scary Monsters



The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom

And the possibilities it seems to offer

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart

Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

Yea Yea Yea - Up the hill backwards

It'll be alright ooo - ooo



While we sleep they go to work

We're legally crippled It's the death of love

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

More idols than realities

I'm O.K. - you're so-so

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

It's got nothing to do with you

If one can grasp it

Yea Yea Yea - Up the hill backward

It'll be alright ooo -ooo
