Tonite It Shows (Tascam 8 track reel to reel demo) Songtext
von Mercury Rev

Into a dream, i took a turn, an′ promised t' return
Th′ way we were, th' way we met, th' way i lit yr cigarette
Th′ way it trailed, into a stream, an′ lay down between...


You had t' choose, a side t′ love, an' divide yerself in two
Th′ way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war
But you forget, where th′ road goes, an' tonite it shows...

Into yr soul, i tried t' climb, but found th′ hole t′ high
For me t' leave, th′ way i'd learned, an′ found i couldn't turn
Th′ way th' trees, an' fallin′ rain, remind me in a way...

Th′ way you were, th' day we met, th′ way i lit your cigarette
Th' way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase
But you forget, how th′ song goes, an' tonite it shows...
