Animal In the Mirror (Remastered) Lyrics

You keep forgetting the lines
The lines that show
Where you were bound
Long agoAnimal in the mirror
Live out another mise en scene
Somebody else's summer again
Animal in the mirrorAnd 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 balustradeAnimal in the mirror
Slow dissolve in tears
Tears that chart
How we're the same
The same worlds apartAnimal in the mirror

And stop this pretending
There's plenty of time
All your happy endingsWill 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 dayLord I broke up this morning
I rose in pieces and dreams
I was running late and scared
In ParisIn springtime
And fog juice streamsForget your lines
The lines that show
Where you were bound
Long agoAnimal in the mirror
Slow dissolve
In tears that chart
How we're the sameThe same worlds apart
Animal in the mirror
After a fashion
After a fallAfter reality
After all
Animal in the mirror
Stop this pretendingThere's plenty of time
All your happy endings
Will they never find
Animal in the mirror?
