Mirrorshades

(album: Hack - 1990)

Here are a few notes from the underground
Load them at your pleasure
These are the dusty pictures that I found
While on my search for treasure

Here is the hazy vision that I saw
Here's what she said to me
For a scientist I am too raw
I know all about you can't you see?

She said don't be making no provocation
Unless you're ready to handle the nation
I'm cold and I'm bold and I don't do what I'm told

She wore mirrorshades
And I can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades
But I know that I can't live without her mirrorshades
And I kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades
And the strange attractors that surround her

Remember as you bust north at her call
That you can never doubt it
No matter what you cannot have it all
'Cause she leaves home without it

But in the darkness where we both were caught
In the heartbeat of El Nido
I had a VHS for her to slot
And now I never want to go

She said "now you're here, you've got to show and prove
And do that dance until it don't move
The phone doesn't work so you won't be calling home"

She wore mirrorshades
And I can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades
But I know that I can't live without her mirrorshades
And I kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades
And the strange attractors that surround her

She was so absolutely digital
To jack in now was wrong
But cupid punches deck with chemicals
While dark Madonna sings her song

She wore mirrorshades
And I can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades
But I know that I can't live without her mirrorshades
And I kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades
And the strange attractors that surround her

Mirrorshades

Hey! We don't take no shit from a machine
