Walking Backwards Lyrics - Angela Ammons - Angela Ammons

Falling snowflakes, melting in the sun 

Dead end sweepstakes, heaven's growing numb 

Weekend sandman, stealing innocence 

Conscious dreaming, last line of defense 

Why do we walk backwards 

Down a road that never ends? 

Not knowing where we're going 

Just seeing where we've been 

Can't find no direction 

Though we try hard to pretend 

That we're not walking backwards 

But we are again and again 

Is it too late to change? 

Velvet roses, blinded by the heat 

Teenage grownups 

Passing on their painted legacies 

Why do we walk backwards 

Down a road that never ends? 

Not knowing where we're going 

Just seeing where we've been 

Can't find no direction 

Though we try hard to pretend 

That we're not walking backwards 

But we are, again, and again, and again 

Is it too late to change? 

Ivory castles, all fall down 

False religions being crowned 

Politicians tied and bound 

We have to make a stand today 

The time has come for us to change 

Whey do we walk backwards 

Down a road that never ends? 

Not knowing where we're going 

Just seeing where we've been 

Can't find no direction 

Though we try hard to pretend 

That we're not walking backwards 

But we are, again, and again, and again
