The Rearview Mirror Blues
1990

on the mirror
a silver chain
visions of milk and honey, visions of where it used to hang
yeah, you can break my heart
but you can't put me in my place
i guess you know that by now
i could carry this torch forever
but looks like it's gonna bet blown out

yeah, i'm the friend you thought you wanted to make
but i could know you better
i've never even seen you cry
i'd like to open you up like a can of soup
i guess you know that by now

what am i doing, drinking my baby's poison?
going crazy with all the henna-headed hipsters
it's all neal cassidy's fault
and i could carry this torch forever

waiting for you in the floor by your door
back against the wall
a piano plays "lover man, where can you be?" down the hall
i'm here
waiting for you!

on the mirror
a silver chain
visions of milk and honey, visions of where it used to hang
yeah, you can break my heart
but you can't put me in my place
i guess you know that by now
and i could carry this torch forever
but looks like you're gonna blow it out
