Eleanor Friedberger - She's a Mirror lyrics

She's got a long black cape And you're trying to escape From the shape of the things yet to come She's got a hammer and nail And you feel like you failed When you inhale and offer her some She's guessed your address From your eyes more or less That could best do a part in your downfall There's a rip in your shirt That's smeared with dirt And it hurts when it's time for a last call She's got the new broom You're dusting the room She grooms you until you are hoarse She made you a may queen but can't have foreseen Her obscene gravitational force She's got a spied upon spy upon look in her eye says Surprise me or leave me alone Her attention's divided it's time you decided Take her outside or leave her alone She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's got a record by Sparks that lights up in the dark And the [?] needle don't skim She's got beautiful teeth and a man-sized wreath She'll bequeath at the lunar eclipse She's got a vertical face and a fertile embrace But her red lace is only too [?] She's got you on repeat and your prize style seat Be discreet when you meet on the key She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's She's surrounded by sound in the burial ground She'll impound you and wait for your claim You met in September and now it's December And you can't remember her name She's fluent in German and she's predetermined Which sermon you'll read from which mount Well out in no man's land where this sleight of hand Matters less than the cards that she counts She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's She's flying a kite in the dark of the night As your pilot light flickers and dims And when she enters your dreams she floats you downstream Till she seems just like a phantom limb You wake with a start stare at her folk art She's picking apart every stitch She's got needle and thread beneath her bedspread But was dead to your most perfect pitch She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror She's a mirror Or a meteor Or a mirror Or a meteor I don't know
