Backdrifts – Radiohead

Hail To the Thief

℗ 2003 XL Recordings Ltd

We’re rotten fruit, we’re damaged goods What the hell, we’ve got nothing more to lose One gust and we will probably crumble We’re backdrifting

This far, but no further I’m hanging off a branch I’m teetering on the brink of Honey sweets, so full of sleep I’m backsliding

You fell into our arms You fell into our arms We tried but there was nothing we could do Nothing we could do

All evidence has been buried All tapes have been erased But your footsteps give you away So you’re backtracking

You fell into our arms You fell into our arms We tried but there was nothing we could do Nothing we could do

You fell into our, you fell into our

We’re rotten fruit, we’re damaged goods What the hell, we’ve got nothing more to lose One gust and we will probably crumble We’re backdrifters
