lyrics

8. HALL OF MIRRORS & ROOM FULL OF WOES
words/music: bill mallonee

Hall of mirrors. Room full of woes
does it get any clearer as you go?
the cards you play & the ones you n'er shown
Hall of mirrors. Room full of woes

death is a boxer stalking the ring
grabs all the prize money and few other things
with a one-two punch, that's stealing the show
hall of mirrors...room full of woe

now, death's a prize-fighter & thorough as hell
go up against him? you'll never lived to tell
always a decision you already know
Hall of mirrors. Room full of woes

you try to bring forth fruits from this inhospitable ground
toil has a face but it makes no sound
scratchin' the surface with pick-axe & hoe
Hall of mirrors. Room full of woes

now, they say what's asleep won't stay in the ground
and what is lost is nothing compared to what gets found
I'm betting the farm, babe, on that smile you bestow
Hall of mirrors. Room full of woes...
