Album: The La's

Lookin' Glass

Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..

Open up the broken door
for all lost will be found
Walk into the empty room
but never make a sound

Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..

I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed

The past -
it never says
it never makes a sound

Whispered ways were chosen
Echoes will be found
Mirrors that were broken
Lay there on the ground
Though the way lies open
Will the way be found

Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..

So the story goes it
Everybody knows it
Look into the past
We can't live without it
We can't live within it
Everything must pass
The change is cast...

I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed
