we can do it backwards
in heels and a dress
with an empty mind
or a head full of stress
we can move off the cuff
wear a mask of surprise
do it all without eyes
in the back of our head
with mended stockings
with broken hearts
we can do it all
with a spit or a swallow
with the strength of a leader
whilst thrust into follow
we can do it all
but can’t find a way to ask you
to meet us halfway or give us
a reason to stay
