backwater

• (bkz: status quo)
  
  down at backwater junction
  rolling down the line
  in the dark early morning
  i heard the one-forty-nine
  i was walking down the highway
  needed somewhere to go
  a lady laid beside me
  and she invited me home
  she led me cold, tired and hungry
  down the backwater road
  
  in a house on the corner
  looking over the track
  i woke up with a fever
  and a pain in my back
  she was lying there beside me
  my fever started to grow
  had a funny feeling
  but the lady said no
  the lover needs a doctor
  down the backwater road
  
  whatcha' lookin' for
  whatcha' lookin' for
  lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
  was i wrong to play along
  lady was i right or lady was i wrong
  
  backwater doctor
  you've got me breathing in time
  it's ten-thirty in the morning
  and i'm feeling alright
  i went back to my lady
  but i wasn't to know
  lady left this morning
  and she's not coming home
  i was cold when she left me
  down the backwater road

• brian eno'nun before and after science albümünden bir şarkı. sözleri:
  
  backwater
  we're sailing at the edges of time
  backwater
  we're drifting at the waterline
  oh we're floating in the coastal waters
  you and me and the porter's daughters
  ooh what to do not a sausage to do
  and the shorter of the porter's daughters
  dips her hand in the deadly waters
  ooh what to do in a tiny canoe
  black water
  there were six of us but now we are five
  we're all talking
  to keep the conversation alive
  there was a senator from ecuador
  who talked about a meteor
  that crashed on a hill in the south of peru
  and was found by a conquistador
  who took it to the emperor
  and he passed it on to a turkish guru.
  his daughter
  was slated for becoming divine
  he taught her
  he taught her how to split and define
  but if you study the logistics
  and heuristics of the mystics
  you will find that their minds rarely move in a line
  so it's much more realistic
  to abandon such ballistics
  and resign to be trapped on a leaf in a vine.
