Lyrics

Time runs backwards, at the end;

You turn into a child again

Then you're dust

Remind yourself, what you once were

An animal without much fur

Then you're dust

You've got to be yourself, like a man

Till the line runs off your hand

Then you're dust

Nobody wakes you. Nobody can.

Nobody shakes you

Anymore

Walk around and breathe the air

You can find it anywhere

Till you're dust

Everybody moves around

Makes a very special sound

Then you're dust

Everybody feels
