13X Lyrics

    One enchanted evening,
    as I lay on my bed,
    I took two little square mirrors
    and placed them end to end.

    Then, just to play with the moonlight,
    I raised one ninety degrees.
    That s when the spokes started spinning -
    sucked my soul from it s eaves.

    Thirteen times I ve sipped the wine -
    dispelled the myth of time.
    Took the heat of the sacrifice
    and returned to ride.
    13X.

    Takes it s toll on the flesh and bones,
    this dimensional dance.
    If curiousity s killing me -
    it s got the seat of my pants.

    So, if you re lookin for answers
    or just out for kicks,
    don t be a distant cousin.
    You all know where I live.

    I ll walk you through where the mirrors meet
    to a place
    we ll be free to speak.
    Between the sadness of sacrifice
    to the belly
    of the beast.
    The Seventh Son of the Setting Sun
    lays a shroud
    on all that s black and white.
    The narcotic of nightmare
    pulses greyness out
    in silvery sheets.
