Lyrics

Verse 1:

I'm lookin' in my sideview mirror
Things are closer than they seem
I see my life slippin' by
Reality cross into dream

I'm lyin' stretched out on the table
I see the surgeon lookin' very able
But I wouldn't trust him with his knife
I see his eves undressin' my wife

Chorus:

What is there to make sense of
This angle of mine
It takes a certain point of view
To see things out of line

Verse:

So it depends where you're sittin'
The passenger's in control
You have your own way of seein'
So easy to miss the goal

So where is it that I'm goin'
Or rather where is it that I've bin?
What's starin' at me in the future?
It's the same damn place
Where I've been


Chorus

Bridge:

So we'll all try to pull together
Get on through whatever the weather
So if I stray to the right the left will pull me back
Till I'm outta sight Yeah

Solo

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 1

Coda:

I'm lookin'in the sideview mirror

I'm lookin' in the sideview mirror

You know what I can see
In that mirror there
Oh God it's me!
