The Red Corner Mirror

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Legs crossed on that sagging wicker throne

This pink bob wasn't my decision

The velvet clock is stuck on twelve

I wear black to hide the dust

Pre-Chorus

Nostalgia is just a tax on people who forgot the pain

We buy history because we can't afford the future

Chorus

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Verse 2

Romy winks from the spotted glass

In sixty-nine I wore that silk

Thrift shop smells of wood and smoke

This ghost is too slim for me

Pre-Chorus

Every broken rib is a shelf for another tragedy

Forgiveness is the sound of a heavy door locking

Chorus

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Bridge

(Whispered)

Ik ben hier blijven hangen

Verloren in Sint-Niklaas

C'est fini n'est-ce pas

Ik weet het niet meer

Chorus

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Midnight is a room in East Flanders

Post-Chorus

La la la

Oh oh oh

Twelve o'clock

Always twelve

Wait for me
