let's set up a mirror
to discover what reflects
i'll put on all my facades
now here's a pillow
smother out all the stray faces
it goes on and on
the sin and whiskey chasers
if another time
you regard your inhibitions
remember you left them behind
deep in the broad yukon
deep in the broad yukon
can we take a picture
to remember the events
that turned the tide
nobody caused
swim into the shallows
cover over the indecencies
with troubled remarks
surging out in parts:
let's become who we really are
i forget sometimes that i'm
stuck in the middle some
kind of witness in dismay
see through your disguise
fool no one with your lies
we can't deny
we can't deny
we breathe the air
from the same sky
we can't deny
we can't deny
we breathe the air
from the same sky
we haven't tried
we haven't tried
if we won't talk
slim chance we'll have
the strength to walk
if you go it alone
there can be no solo
to confront the past
is harder than hell
you bought a lie
we bought the lie
so fabricate
an alibi
we can't deny
we can't deny
we breathe the air
from the same sky
