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

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