Luxuria - Animal In The Mirror lyrics

rate me

You keep forgetting the lines

the lines that show

where you were bound

long ago

animal in the mirror

live out another mise en scene

somebody else's summer again

animal in the mirror

and stop this pretending

there's plenty of time

all your happy endings

will they never find

animal in the mirror?

Excited night

flickering trade

a bag of nerves

on a balustrade

animal in the mirror

slow dissolve in tears

tears that chart

how we're the same

the same worlds apart

animal in the mirror

and stop this pretending

there's plenty of time

all your happy endings

will they never find

animal in the mirror?

Oh Lord I spoke up this morning

I had nothing to say

above the hum of another

raw and exquisite day

Lord I broke up this morning

I rose in pieces and dreams

I was running late and scared

in Paris

in springtime

and fog juice streams

Forget your lines

the lines that show

where you were bound

long ago

animal in the mirror

slow dissolve

in tears that chart

how we're the same

the same worlds apart

animal in the mirror

after a fashion

after a fall

after reality

after all

animal in the mirror

stop this pretending

there's plenty of time

all your happy endings

will they never find

animal in the mirror?
