The Nits - Aquarium lyrics

I was walking through the Palace of Mirrors In the city of Luzern I was looking at my own face A 1000 times turning with every turn The eyes of my child like a school of fishes In the aquarium Were looking at me from another world From a world to come She said: "Bring me the light The light that was shining on the tree outside Bring me the rain that was falling On my shoulders on a summer night" I thought nobody died, but it's not true We die, there's no escape Let us rewind our lives like a videotape I was walking through the empty rooms Of the house we'd left behind I heard the voice of my child going up The stairs in the pale moonlight There were words like raindrops Words like snowflakes falling down Falling down from another world A world to come She said: "Bring me the song That was in my head when I fell asleep Bring me the love that came And left me like an empty train" I thought love never died But it died and there's no escape Let us rewind our lives like a videotape I remember the aquarium in Artis With the angry big fish The gla** like a mirror We could see our faces making funny faces It seems that our eyes were looking at us From another world Bring me the summer that I thought That I thought would never end Bring me the snow that was falling Was falling in my open hand I thought life never ends But it ends and there's no escape Let us rewind our lives like a videotape (Like a videotape Like a videotape) She said: "Bring me the head That was resting on my shoulder Bring me the heart that I left That I left, left behind" I thought nobody died, but it's not true We die, there's no escape Let us rewind our lives like a videotape And play it back in slow motion Playback in slow motion In slow motion In slow motion
