Growling Vocals
The priest got up
and shook his robe
said "Lord
I'm gonna dance
till I find the door"
But the door
was a mirror
and the mirror
was a door
and the floor
was a sermon
that nobody
wore
A priest dancin
in a hall of mirrors
one step forward
and a thousand steps near
A priest dancin
in a hall of mirrors
the hymn's got a echo
and the echo's got a fear
Verse 2
He raised his hand
to bless the glass
and the glass raised a hand
right back
said "brother
you ain't blessin
you ain't savin
you're just
wavin
at a pack
of yous"
A mirror is a witness
that never tells the truth
a truth is a mirror
that never shows your youth
A dance is a prayer
that your knees don't understand
and the hall
oh the hall
is a hundred
holy
hands
HANDS. HANDS. AIN'T GOT NO PLANS.
The priest spun left
the priest spun right
every priest in the mirror
spun left
spun right
And he couldn't tell
which one
was the one
who got up
this mornin
and which one
was the one
who never
went to bed
He danced till the candles
forgot how to burn
he danced till the pews
took a wrong
took a wrong
took a wrong turn
And the last thing he saw
before the mirrors
all went blind
was a thousand priests
dancin
in a thousand
kinds
of mind
A priest dancin
in a hall of mirrors
one step forward
and a thousand steps near
A priest dancin
in a hall of mirrors
the hymn's got a echo
and the echo's got a fear
