Jewel - Ain'T No Lookin Back (September 1996) lyrics

All of your ghosts

Litter the horizon

Glittering carcasses

I guess that makes twice then

Just like your daisies

And all of your buffallo

You dont worry

The children will mend what you tore

You dress yourself in sharkbites

You kill yourself in spoonfuls

You damn all the beehives

You make love to potholes

Your attention is a junkie

It has a wandering vien

And all of your thoughtlessness

Is dried up rain

Aint no lookin back, now---Is there kid?

You always look to the west

You throw caution to the wind

You're on a one way track

But you cant buy caution back---Can you kid?

You killed a man

Because you made him borrow

One suicide is made up

Of ten thousand tiny sorrows

America's great

Its the land of the free

We're so independant

That we forgot how to breathe

Aint no lookin back, now---Is there kid?

You always look to the west

You throw caution to the wind

You're on a one way track

But you cant buy caution back---Can you kid?

Show me one hero

Who ain't afraid of fear

Show me one adult

That knows how to hear

"We are the future"

At least thats what you said

I wanna know:

Who's the hope of today?

There's no lookin back now for you---Is there kid?

All of your ghosts

Litter the horizon

Glittering carcasses

I guess that makes twice then

Just like your daisies

And all of your buffallo

You dont worry

The children will mend what you tore
