Mirror

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left the door upon it's latch With the key dangling sleepily The swept floor, upon the thatch Sit the three strangling men in tweed Seen from the deceptive hills And the moon with shadows stretched Out [Verse 2] What seemed a frenzy was merely embracing Sucked into the valleys for darkness to feed Hot leaves a-melting, in the soup they're tasting Look simple to many more barking steeds Hunger made them blood-boltered Asunder beneath shade thеse blow-in's bolted To entеr my home and my bed To enter my home [Chorus] Green and awake only brushing with pride She gives me a wink and with one I reply A newsagent's grimace with papers to sell Walked into the forest, fell under it's spell Esteem can make soldiers crushing and snide With snivelling stink and cat-cut eyes A pew fails and breaks while a holy hymn tells of The difference that lies between heaven and hell [Refrain] I stumbled under a tree And, in sickness, sucked the root Someone plundered the sheen That once, licked the spoils I stumbled under the tree And, in sickness, sucked the root Someone plundered the sheen That once, licked the spoils
