Verse
A#
Richard was a stout-hearted man
D# A#
He'd been through the bulk of his live
A#
He no longer spoke to most of his folks
D# A#
And was abandoned by his wife
A#
Rolling down the road one night alone
D#
He came upon a terrible sight
A#
An older woman laid bleeding in the road
F A#
And her screams bout filled the night
[Chorus]
A#
She said "Look backwards on your future,
D# A#
And look forward to your past
A#
Everything upon which you base your faith
Cm F
Is made of vapour and it won't last
A#
It's only everything in your shared reality
D#
That keeps our souls held fast
D# A#
So look backwards on your future
F A#
And look forward to your past"
[Verse]
A#
Richard woke the next morning and spoke
D# A#
He said "There's something i feel i must do!"
A#
He called up all of his natural-born kids
D# A#
And all his money from the bank he withdrew
A#
He changed his mind about everything
D#
He'd ever felt about what's bad and good
A#
He fixed a loudspeaker to the roof of his car
F A#
And he sang to everyone he could
[Chorus]
A#
He sang "Look backwards on your future
D# A#
and look forward to your past
A#
Get your sense of time from the acient Hawaiians
Cm F
Your sense of self from the hydrogen blast
A#
You'll be what came before, you were what is is to come!"
D#
He bellowed out to everyone he past
D# A#
So "Look backwards on your future
F A#
and look forward to your past!"

[Verse]
A#
Richard got arrested in Loretto
D# A#
He was caused in too much mischief for the sisters
A#
He spent an evening in the clink and they went home and turned to drink
D# A#
And gave his all, yes he was a double-fister
A#
The issue was the kind of past he had behind him
D#
Most of what he lived was wasted days
A#
The history he faced was an ocean made of empty
F A#
And a destiny you wouldn't want to save
[Chorus]
A#
Still I say "Look backwards on your future,
D# A#
and look forward to your past
A#
If you haven't gone and made a mess of your self
Cm F
You just might end up with the last laugh
A#
Every little dot of pe-pe-presence and thought
D#
For another will give you life class
D# A#
So look backwards on your future,
F A#
and look forward to your past"
[Verse]
A#
This particular assemblage of molecules and memories
D#
Someday soon may just run out of gas
D# A#
So look backwards on your future
F A#
And look forward to your past
