[The Legendary Pink Dots - A World With No Mirrors lyrics]
Sometimes I catch an outline
There are moments when I'm almost sure it's
Safe to hold my head up
And look into your precious eyes
In search of you still it's just an outline
Those sideways glances i see you doubt me
Our self-centred needs have left us floating
When we should be holding hands
A pair of hands a share of
Hands a comfort no distortion
Gazing down at my old shoes
There's nothing awkward
I can move and still be seen
I can lie with you and keep it clean
I'll slide in through the back door
To the corner of your eye
Still, we're sinking as we shiver in
A world which has no mirrors
Where the glass is just a sliver
Where the river's always dry
Where 'time and tide' is just an outline
And always in retreat
There are moments when I'm almost sure it's
Safe to hold my head up
And look into your precious eyes
In search of you still it's just an outline
Those sideways glances i see you doubt me
Our self-centred needs have left us floating
When we should be holding hands
A pair of hands a share of
Hands a comfort no distortion
Gazing down at my old shoes
There's nothing awkward
I can move and still be seen
I can lie with you and keep it clean
I'll slide in through the back door
To the corner of your eye
Still, we're sinking as we shiver in
A world which has no mirrors
Where the glass is just a sliver
Where the river's always dry
Where 'time and tide' is just an outline
And always in retreat
