Parabola
Bivouac LP/CD
I caught my eye in a swinging door.
I saw myself in someone else
Some broken glass and a bleeding hand.
I saw myself in someone else
I know who I am.
I'd never seen that man before.
and hated them (ever since).
The mirror's down but I'm still standing. Stand.
and hated them (ever since).
(4x)
Notes:
Adam wrote the lyrics.
Blake doesn't sing the parenthical phrase "ever since," although it's printed in the Bivouac lyric sheet.
In live versions, Blake usually ad-libs over the last section ("I know who I am" in the studio version).
