Looking Glass Blues Lyrics
I think I'd like to climb down in a hole
Down in the bottom of the world below
Twist myself back out of sight
Looking glass says, "have a look inside"
Drink a little bottle and I disappear
Smaller I grow, smaller all my fears
I can fit inside the heart of anywhere
Looking glass blues and I don't care
Time ticks backwards and the day is null
Borrowing dreams from a burying ground
Stranded on a chessboard, I can't move
And I don't even want to sing these backwards blues
Backwards blues, backwards blues
What can you see through a looking glass?
The opposite of everything that you can't have
You don't have
Good or bad
I see what exists outside myself
The absence of something that I know too well
Now the fear is reaching like a hand in the glove
The ugliest thing inside a heart you can think of
I walk through a keyhole big as the sun
Past all meanings and the things we've done
Counterfeit soul with an infant brain
'Cause that's how we gonna get along today
Down in the bottom of the world below
Twist myself back out of sight
Looking glass says, "have a look inside"
Smaller I grow, smaller all my fears
I can fit inside the heart of anywhere
Looking glass blues and I don't care
Borrowing dreams from a burying ground
Stranded on a chessboard, I can't move
And I don't even want to sing these backwards blues
Backwards blues, backwards blues
The opposite of everything that you can't have
You don't have
Good or bad
The absence of something that I know too well
Now the fear is reaching like a hand in the glove
The ugliest thing inside a heart you can think of
Past all meanings and the things we've done
Counterfeit soul with an infant brain
'Cause that's how we gonna get along today
