Mercury Rev - Tonite It Shows lyrics

into a dream, I took a turn, and promised to return

the way we were, the way we met, the way I lit your cigarette

the way it trailed, into a stream, and lay down between

you had to choose, a side to lose, and divide yourself in two

the way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war

but you forget, where the road goes, and tonite it shows

into your soul, I tried to climb, but found the hole to high

for me to leave, the way I'd learned, and found I couldn't turn

the way the trees, and fallin' rain, remind me in a way

the way you were, the day we met, the way I lit your cigarette

the way it changed, into a strange, Cole Porter phrase

but you forget, how the song goes, and tonite it shows
