Luxuria - 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 scène
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?
