Looking Glass

Looking Glass - The String Cheese Incident

Day break on the city streets

From the corner of her eye

Pass the man who holds the box

He'll try to get inside

Faces look back at me

From their places on the wall

Above the girl

Who held the shiny looking glass

She said

All faces in here have an undercoat of blue

If you look real close

With this glass of mine

You can pick out every hue

I took the glass from her hand

And held it to the sky

I took one glimpse i slipped and fell

Into the other side

Sometimes I can't see how far we've come

Sometimes I feel like me body's gone numb

Sometimes I can't see how far we've come

But I step back and i look again

And my chains come undone

Back out on the sidewalk

Now crashing through the night

Feel first breath of air bringing in the sun

On the bench ahead a man sat

Playing national guitar

I didn't recognize the tune

But I dropped change in his jar

The first notes to hit my ears

Didn't sound quite right

But I let the sound wash over me

And it got me through the night

Sometimes I can't see how far we've come

Sometimes I feel like me body's gone numb

Sometimes I can't see how far we've come

But I step back and i look again

And my chains come undone

Step inside take a look at the tapestry untied

Sadly saw the details that occupy your mind

Can you see a picture that is coming into view

The journey started long ago

Let's see the story through

See how far we've come

Feel what has begun

We can be headed towards the sun

If we free ourselves from these chains
