One look at my face, you think I'm holding all the aces

But I'm not, oh no I'm not

Colour coded casualties of circumstance

Can't hold a flame to me

Why can't you see?

That I'm living my life in reverse

Living my life in reverse

Before you die, try living in reverse

Diverted from Disneyland

Buckled up and forced to land in tears

Or somewhere near

I kneel to kiss the tarmac

But the tarmac kisses me back on the rear

Hello, I'm here

I'm living my lifе in reverse

Living my lifе in reverse

Before you die, try living in reverse

Just keep your hair on, I'll be with you in a minute

There's a drama in development

Guess who's starring in it

In the lottery of life, you get one chance to win it

Oops, there goes mine

I was walking backwards, that's how I came to miss it

That ought to be illegal, at the very least illicit

What can you do when you've got yourself turned around?

So that's my confession, jolly japes and indiscretions by the score

Still time for more

So take another look at my face

It's not every day you see the rain, before it pours

I'm living my life in reverse

Living my life in reverse

Before you die, try living in reverse

Living my life in reverse

Living my life in reverse

Before you die, try living in reverse
