Hall of Mirrors

 

walking in the hall of mirrors, all is pretty on the outside
walking in the hall of mirrors, all is pretty on the outside
and the city wears the moonlight like a beauty queen's crown
everybody's headed someplace, and I'm headed down
down this spiral of day and night and color and sound

walking from your house this evening, I had my shoes off and my tongue tied
looking back as I was leaving, you're so pretty on the outside
and you've got to have something in your heart to feed my hope
and I try to read you as I'm slipping down my slope
but you just sit there with your smile like an envelope


and I look at all that's buried here
pillars of dust with a shiny veneer
keeping this life in the shadow
so I drop my coin on a cheap beer buzz
looking to feel like another man does
and I don't know where I'll be tomorrow


walking from the hall of mirrors, all is pretty from a distance
walking from the hall of mirrors, all is pretty and different


and the city shines like a coin to toss
a river of light and no way to cross
and I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
so I drop my coin and I spin my wheels
starting to feel like another man feels
and I don't know where I'll be
