Simple Minds | Lyrics | Thirty Frames a Second

Today I saw a film was going backwards
Thirty frames a second was a man I recognized
Say who you are? I lost my job security
Self confidence, bank account, identity

The league of youth coming backward at me
Thirty frames a second
Say who you are? Go back to father
Father where's my food? Your food is on the table
That can't be food, it's dirt say who you are

Look at my skin, look at my face
Look at my arms getting younger
Going backwards thirty frames a second
Say who you are?

I crash my car, collapse in town
Young immigrants and legionaries
Fighting back, back, backwards
Thirty frames a second
Say who you are?

Some friends of mine
I thought were dead, a coming back
What are you doing coming back, Jack
Say who you are?
Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second

Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second

Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
