Alone In A Room Of Mirrors / James Cagney

I'm excited to live again
Get out of this cake of mud
Return to the homeland
Be reunited with your love
Do you think I wouldn't recognize you
After so many years
I paid my dues
But never forgot you
Alone in a room of mirrors
Alone in a room of mirrors

They washed my back with pain
And treated me like a dog
When my birthday came
I lived it in the dark
My eyes went mad and cursed the earth
After only feeling fear
I lost them too
But I still see you
Alone in a room of mirrors
Alone in a room of mirrors

Belt driver
Warped sound
Harsh realities being drowned
Crack of the head
No one's around
I'm alone in a room of mirrors
Alone in a room of mirrors

When we were healthy and young
We thumped it across the soil
Defended you in honor
Then all our plans were foiled
Anything they do to me
Don't matter when you appear
I dream us strong
I dream us young
Alone in a room of mirrors
Alone in a room of mirrors
Can you hear me yelling
Across the half filled room
Got a distant memory
A trap the world set for two
I tried to hold the sunlight
I tried to kiss the air
It reminded me of someone
Who I wish could be here
Or I wish I could be there

I'm a lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy

I slid down a rainbow
Stood at the bottom of the sea
Closed my eyes for a second
And wound up in your dream
You were picking some flowers
A soundtrack did creep
The credits started rolling
I guess they cut my scene
Or you would have me to believe

I'm a lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy

With a face like Cagney
And bullet proof hope
An ear to the train track
A heart of plated gold
Distance delivered focus
And focus made me weep
'Cause you arrived with another
Who tried to kill me in my sleep
And you were walking to the beat
You were dancing to this beat

To this lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy, lonely boy
