I walked through this place, although it wasn't really there
And when I reached the other side, thought I didn't really care
I moved round a bit, and started seeing people
And the people that I met, oh were all covered in treacle

everyone was laughing, everyone except for poor old me,
so I tried to entertain them, oh but they were hard to please
as time went by, oh backwards I walked
Backwards I talked, and backwards I laughed...
