[Verse 1]

You caught me walking backward

Counting back from ten

Trying to turn my luck around

But failing

And failing again

[Verse 2]

The trinity was broken

A sacred triangle

Underneath the rungs

Against a building

I'm building a fall

[Chorus]

Walking backward

Under ladders in reverse

Walking backward

Superstition break the curse

Walking backward

[Verse 3]

This city is a minefield

Duck or hit your head

Working up the energy

For staying

For staying in bed

[Chorus]

Walking backward

Under ladders in reverse

Walking backward

Superstition break the curse

Take me back

To bread and butter days

To simple ways

To words we left unsaid

I’ll never get ahead

Walking backward

[Verse 4]

Maybe I’m unlucky

Maybe that’s just life

Playing out as karma

As I sharpen

I sharpen the knife

[Chorus]

Walking backward

Under ladders in reverse

Walking backward

Superstition break the curse

Take me back

To bread and butter days

To simple ways

To words we left unsaid

I’ll never get ahead

Walking backward

Walking backward

Walking backward

Walking backward
