Barenaked Ladies - Back Lyrics

Send "Back" ringtone to your cell

I woke up yesterday morning

Fell down two flights of stairs

Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep.

Nine-one-one ambulance help me

But I can't reach the phone

So I scream to the neighbors "come over break into my home"

I broke my back

There was nobody there to help me

Broke my back

All the lies and deception won't change the perception that

I fell flat on my ass

I wish this had happened skydiving

That my parachute failed

But a pair of shoes tripped me down stairs and I lay there and wail

Those things I used to take for granted

Now I take sitting down

I can't brush my teeth, chew my nails, give the finger to a clown

I broke my back

And I can't even change the channels

Broke my back

I fell flat on my ass

Well they tell me that I shouldn't get discouraged

But they tell me that I'll never walk again

And they say I'm gonna need a lot of courage

And they say I'm gonna need a lot of friends

But what I really need is a pair of electric legs.

So I wish some genius would just invent them.

And if they cost to much I'd share with someone else.

Or I would scour the yellow pages and I'd rent them.

I know I can probably pop a wheely

Entertaining the kids

I can put hockey cards in the spokes I can even throw skids

I get a good seat at a concert

Even get stuff for free

Is it cause I'm an excellent guy or cause they're scared of me

I broke my back

And I can't even use the clapper

I broke my back

All the lies and deception won't change the perception that

I fell flat on my ass
