lyrics

Well it's be a long time
Since you died and um
The stars shift and shudder
Eccentric celluloid suns

On waking one morning
You brought a tear to my eye
But the world is turning
And money's burning
And something smells awry

Observing the past
Through the looking glass
Watching in the mirror
What do our dreams fear

Ardent thighs reveal
What the past can't feel
Waiting on a word
Or a
A major third

Shots ring out at night
Siren screams alarm
Frozen lights flicker
Indifferent to harm

Fear is contamination
Can you hear me John
Just imagine no fear
Imagine no fear
Why should it be done

Observing the past
Through the looking glass
Watching in the mirror
What do our dreams fear

Ardent thighs reveal
What the past can't feel
Waiting on a word
Or a
A major third

I dreamt I was you
I mean you were me
We both knew what was coming
At least I thought you could see

Last night I was thinking
Of you and your songs
And I guess this mirror's broken
And I'm sorry you're gone
