Animal In The Mirror Lyrics - Singles - Luxuria

You keep forgetting the lines, the lines that show 

Where you were bound long ago 

Animal in the mirror 

Live out another mise en scne 

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 

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?
