Lyrics for Mirage
I'm just a vision on your TV screen Just something conjured from my dream Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene The image is no images, it's not what it seems My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze My body's an oasis to drink from as you please I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in Your non excuse for human being It's quite plain to see that I'm playing with me A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene The image is no images, it's not what it seems My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze My body's an oasis to drink from as you please I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in Your non excuse for human being, being, being My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze My body's an oasis to drink from as you please I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in Your non excuse for human being It's not what it seems The image is no images It's not what it seems It's not what it seems
