Back Life

Back Life All on your back in life and death Weight of the world on your bare back Carrying a nuclear backpack for Cuban Soviet missiles Darling lady riding your back in the dawn surf Tiger clawing your back as you flee the jungle Car engine weighing you down back style new parts Bust your back bend your knees picking up your cat Bergen on your back as you hike the Eigar North face Weight of dead souls pushing you back down Rugby playing popped your spine like piano keys Take care of your back or its chair time
