Mystery Girl Lyrics

Mystery Girl lyrics

She probably still keeps herself inside herself

 Her head it ruled her heart with a tune i'll never hear

 Summer, like self-portraits we were hit or miss

 

 Never the same hues twice

 The second layer's applied before the first one's were even rendered

 

 I guess her wall's still high and wide

 With the writing on the inside

 Its meaning's reapplied to who's in fashion

 

 Chorus

 

 Time's a perfect crime for a mystery girl

 The veil distorts the rhyme for a mystery girl

 

 Somewhere tonight a lonely shadow's painting in the rain

 And most of what is captured will be in vain

 

 You try to keep away the dogs of memory

 The hungry and the restless ones just come at different angles

 

 A cigarette at midnight in a slow, dark room

 And they're scratchin' at your door

 

 The corner of your mind you pared to eloquence now rambles

 And the rain sounds like a freight train

 Don't it always come the same

 

 When your hunger meets the pain of her resilience

 

 Chorus

 

 I guess her wall's still high and wide

 With the writing on the inside

 Its meaning's reapplied to who's in fashion

 

 Chorus
