Back

Oh man, Oh man in black,
 go Back, go Back in time. 
visit what you know and what 
you feel. this is a bad time, slave.

Oh man, Oh man in black, 
Have you ever known what your past is like?
 Is it sad or joyful?
 Did you enjoy it? i bet not.

Oh man, Oh man in black, go Back to last year. 
Were you fat or skinny, Did you have a wife?
Were you sad or happy. You must go into the future and stay there, 
its the only safe place.

Oh man, Oh man in black, Home is not sweet.
You must not go Back. Back in where you 
belong. You must go into the future or into the past, ever again.
Oh man, Oh man in black, Goodbye and don't go Back.
