8. Mirror Moon Messiah

[Verse 1] Velvet boots on a comet trail Silver teeth and a love that’s frail Heard your name in the Martian rain Whistlin’ tunes through a windowpane [Chorus] Mirror moon messiah Ride your tiger to the choir Spin that halo out of wire And burn, burn, burn like a ghost-fire [Verse 2] Electric queen in a paper dress Sings in code, I just second guess Driftin’ wide on a lunar sigh Kissin’ stars with a glassy eye [Chorus] Mirror moon messiah Crooked grin, space denier Preachin’ truth through amplifier And shine, shine, shine like a torch liar [Bridge] Oh, you tiptoe through galaxies With a feather and a fractured key You told me love was gravity But it slipped from me so carelessly [Outro] Mirror moon, mirror moon Dance in the shimmer of a Saturn tune Hold me once, or hold me never We’re just echoes dressed in leather
