'til It Shines

I look in the mirror, I stand one eightyfive

I'm glad I'm not too short, I'm glad that I'm alive

There's sometimes on a bad day, I got no selfesteame

Especially when I see those shining color magazines

Lord, you know I can see the picture now

of the transformation they could do for me

If I was dumb enough I'd pick up that phone

And get in line, and they could stretch my sat on skin until it shines

Desire and envy, welded up in your heart

You wanna take that hammer to your next door neighbors car

So you dream of the good life, and how the fantasy burns

Makes you gamble on the tv, but you never ever learn

One in a million is better odds than you've got

But you still believe that this could be the one

Why don't you just relax and try to conseal the perfect crime

Wll, you can rub your lucky charm until it shines

Until it shines

Just spend your heart and money on a house of cards

Not knowing which way the wind will blow

Invested all your love and on a crazy whim

And there's no telling where she goes

So you spend your time with dreaming, thinking how it used to be

'Til you come to know the meaning of regreat

You convinse yourself that everything's a going how it all appear, in your head

You're polishing the dirt until it shines

Lord until it shines, oh

Until it shines

Lord until it shines, oh

All that we're praying for, it ain't always what we find

So all of us sit waiting for the sun until it shines
