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

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