13x Lyrics - Singles - The Gone Jackals

One enchanted evening, 

As I lay on my bed, 

I took two little square mirrors 

And placed them end to end. 

Then, just to play with the moonlight, 

I raised one ninety degrees. 

That s when the spokes started spinning - 

Sucked my soul from it s eaves. 

Thirteen times I ve sipped the wine - 

Dispelled the myth of time. 

Took the heat of the sacrifice 

And returned to ride. 

13x. 

Takes it s toll on the flesh and bones, 

This dimensional dance. 

If curiousity s killing me - 

It s got the seat of my pants. 

So, if you re lookin for answers 

Or just out for kicks, 

Don t be a distant cousin. 

You all know where I live. 

I ll walk you through where the mirrors meet 

To a place 

We ll be free to speak. 

Between the sadness of sacrifice 

To the belly 

Of the beast. 

The seventh son of the setting sun 

Lays a shroud 

On all that s black and white. 

The narcotic of nightmare 

Pulses greyness out 

In silvery sheets.
