In the Back of the Book--Lyrics

Imagine a movie in which the hero is drawn further into the mystery. This is the music.

Cdr. Larson ,the stubble-faced ex space marine, displayed a gruff exterior, when scratched, revealed a heart of gold.

Kurt Larson (vocalist for Information Society)

VERSE:

Another picture crisp and clean

I put aside my magazine

But given everything I've seen

I'm not buying it this time

Another piece of cherry pie,

I wonder what goes on inside

And even that gets laid aside

While I solve the bigger crime

CHORUS:

In the back of the book

I'm looking for clues

Too much too see

Nothing to lose

The time that it took

I'll get it all back

In the back of the book

When I open it up

It all will be there

So easy to look

So hard if you care

But all that it took

You get it all back

In the back of the book

VERSE:

Another cloud of nicotine

Another shady slot machine

Questioning hollow figurines

Tryin' to find a light to shine

Yeah, none of this means anything

Until there comes a reckoning

Where what it is is what is seen

I will not retreat this time

CHORUS

In the back of the book

I'm looking for clues

Too much too see

Nothing to lose

The time that it took

I'll get it all back

In the back of the book

When I open it up

God knows what I'll find

So easy to look

So hard if you mind

But all that it took

You get it all back

In the back of the book
