SHARP EYES OF A PRETTY STRANGER
CARS FLY THROUGH SHALLOW FACES
STARING HARD TO FEEL LESSER
TO THE LIFE YOU SEE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
BITING, BLINDED, SLITHER LIKE A CHILD
JUST TO GET A TASTE OF HER WILD
APATHETIC FEARS SHINE CLEARER
AND LIFE'S A BITCH THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
IT BRINGS A CALLOUS MAN TO HIS KNEES
TO KNOW YOU'D DO ANYTHING SHE PLEASED
CAN'T LOOK AWAY FROM THE ONE YOU DESIRE
MADE A SLAVE TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
LIFE SLIPS AWAY THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
OPPORTUNITY FADES IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
SHE'LL TWIST YOUR MIND THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
THROUGH SHALLOW EYES IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
SHE'LL MAKE YOU WILD THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!
(SCREAM)
