Through

[Verse 1]
She played the part of a virgin
She played it all too well
In real life she was a veteran
In the wars of kiss and tell
Outside the dirty Harlem streets
The dirty buy and sell
I said, "How can you look out the window
And only see yourself?"

[Chorus]
Through the mirror darkly
Through the looking glass
Through the eye of the needle
This too shall pass... through

[Verse 2]
"Someday I want children
But not at this point in time"
She spoke it like a lawyer
I took it as a sign
But there was a longing in her voice
The long and painful choice
Something shatterеd deep inside
So far away from the noise

[Chorus]
Through thе mirror darkly
Through the looking glass
Through the eye of the needle
This too shall pass... through

[Verse 3]
I was far away, so far
When I heard what she had done
But it was not my star
Laid out on the horizon
Only half have the nerve
Only half have the heart
Only half get what they deserve
Out on that boulevard

[Chorus]
Through the mirror darkly
Through the looking glass
Through the eye of the needle
This too shall pass... through

[Outro]
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
Through
