Bird, Andrew - Orpheo Looks Back Lyrics






And there are places we must go to
To bring these hollow words on back from
You must cross a muddy river
Where love turns to love turns to fear
They say you don't look
There's only one way
On back from on back from here
They say you don't look
They say you don't look cause it'll disappear

And our eyes they keep on strainin'
As if to see what lies behind them
Through the shells of empty buildings and great columns of glass
They say you don't look
They say you don't look
Cause it'll drive you mad
And if it drives you mad
If it drives you mad
It'll prob'ly pass

    Look up the story of Orpheus and how he tried to get his wife out of the Underworld, but looked back and screwed it all up.  It's a good, but sad story.

    I think they were getting married when a snake bit her, right? So it'd be like fiance or whatever the female version of that word is... Unless it was like towards the end of the wedding... Would need to check the story, maybe it wasn't a wedding and was just a party...
