Lyrics:
Little sad with everything around me.
I hit the floor and my feet kept moving...
I look forward and never backwards,
I was out the door like a roman soldier.
Impossible to keep a straight line...
Too young to keep these bitter hearts
And all around me.
Somebody singing.
Get back get back...

Long hair coming down her shoulders,
She is tired and feeling so much older...
So tear the pages from the family bible,
It came down upon the women for survival.
It came down upon the women for survival.
You know it wasn’t me, no...
And nothing at all, you stop me if I get it wrong...
I think I’m hearing somebody saying ...
I’m gonna spank you ‘till you can’t sit down...
Bust apart we’ll lose each other,
The constellation of my sisters and brothers,
I’m spinning out into the darkness...
Good bye to you in the sadness of this ...
Good bye to you in the sadness of this ...
Good bye to you in the sadness of this ...
Impossible to keep a straight line.
Too young to keep these bitter hearts.
And all around me...
Somebody singing...
Get back get back.
