[Verse 1]
Love, what a mean
Poison arrow welcome to me
What a shot when I
Bent over to tie shoe laces
Cut it out at the seed
And the rip is a rotation
Drawing O in the sky
With no answers in the jury

[Chorus]
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Backwards and up, up, up up

[Post-Chorus]
Take the wheel

[Verse 2]
Oh, the driver is fine
But the passenger is carsick
Back it up, turn around
Like a ferris wheel I shift it
"Oh, it burns but it cleans"
Say the nurses in their tunics
"Just admit you were wrong
It's the opposite of foolish"
[Chorus]
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and upwards
Uh huh, backwards and up, up, up up

[Outro]
Backwards
Backwards
Uh huh, backwards, backwards
Words, words, words
