guitar solo
Horizontal statues
Like dried bug on the show
Souls covered in seaweed
Chained to a runaway
Oh, clinging to ancient truth
Bound to make your eyes water
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
It's a jangler voice
It's just vocal vibrations
They're starlit like light
Turning to rock formations
Oh, through their eyeballs
Like overgrown binoculars
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Too many giants
Jack's beanstalk
His first stand
Milk and blood
Blow by blow
Skin in a simple stalk
Clean
Leaving nothing
But iron hearts
That are changing
Starving minds
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
A kaleidoscope
Of blind and make-believe
And how moving it is
Americanism in 3D
The message spread machine
Is preaching in riddles
While emotions are spreading
Like gasoline torches
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Down the hopeful hallway
Shine needles, cracks, and stains
It's too blurry to tell
What happened to the flame
The sun slants through the paint
Does dances in its light
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
And that which can't be seen
Is all that will remain
Love and hate side by side
In the mystery of all mankind
It's a shocking reflection
Of the human condition
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
Staring through the mirror
Of America
