about

I swear you're gonna see some fireworks through the mirror

lyrics

there's a world out the door
but it remains firmly closed
like your mind and your windows
cobwebs
in another broken doorway
have it your way
but i swear you're gonna see some fireworks
through the mirror
and they're burning up like lucy in the sky
they'll burn holes in your eyes

all the friends i ever had
were bad, bad men
and all the girls i ever loved
were bad women
they were so damn bad i can't see right
they get so damn glad
when i can't sleep at night
can't sleep at night

rainstorm
its normal for this time of year
let's break in
and get as far away from here as we can get
on half a tank of gas and common sense
let's make mistakes
blame it on my searching crying fate
you'll never make it at this rate

and all the friends you'll ever have
will be bad, bad men
and all the girls you'll ever love
will be bad women
they'll be so damn bad you won't see right
and they'll get so damn glad
when you can't sleep at night

can't sleep at night

don't close your eyes
