I walked through this place, although it wasn't really there

And when I reached the other side, thought I didn't really care

I moved round a bit, and started seeing people

And the people that I met, oh were all covered in treacle



everyone was laughing, everyone except for poor old me,

so I tried to entertain them, oh but they were hard to please

as time went by, oh backwards I walked

Backwards I talked, and backwards I laughed...
