One Way Glass

Mark Lanegan


Passerina

Got me staring in a one-way glass
What was beautiful, what was sad?
No more desiring any evil thing
No longer hearing any evil ring

It's something lonelier
Something lonelier
Something lonelier than death

Got me riding on a graveyard train
To the underground to make it rain
To make a flowery garland of my pain
And hang upon the memory of my name

It's something lonelier
Something lonelier
Something lonelier than death
It's something lonelier
Something lonelier
Something lonelier than death

Got me standing in a lightning storm
Begging sympathy, from mercy torn
Hallelujah, Lord, that God is born
Ghosts will dwell within me forever more

It's something lonelier
Something lonelier
Something lonelier than death
It's something lonelier
Something lonelier
Something lonelier than death

Got me staring in a one-way glass
