Looking Glass Blues

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
