Animal In The Mirror Lyrics

Animal In The Mirror lyrics

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?
