Simple Minds – Thirty Frames A Second Lyrics

Today I saw a building
Was going backwards thirty frames a second
Was a man I recognized
Going backwards at thirty frames a second
Say who you are

Today I looked at my suit
This suit was getting new
I didn't fit me no more
Looked at my face and it was getting young
Going backwards thirty frames a second

I lost my security
My bank account and my identity
Nobody recognized, recognized-a me
I was going backwards
Say who you are

And I went back to mother
Mother washed my shoes
She put some on the table
That can't be food
It's just me
Say who you are

I spoke to my wife
She didn't speak to me
Didn't recognize I've known her for so many years
But I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
Say who you are

I parked my car
Going to town, the town is going backwards
So many people never recognize me no more
I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
Say who you are

I once had children
Now no more
How can I have children when I'm going back, going back?
They wouldn't recognize me when I'm going thirty frames a second
Say who you are

Some people I thought were dead are coming back
What you doing coming back, Jack?
Say who you are

Thirty frames a second, going backwards

Thirty frames a second
Thirty frames a second
Going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Thirty frames a second

Thirty frames a second
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Seconds per thirty
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
