Trey Anastasio - What's Going Through Your Mind (5/14/2024)

The storm had passed by quickly as the evening got its start
The moon full, brightly lit the sky as clouds began to part
Safy grabbed the phone and promptly notified the town
Dick emerging from below was shocked at what he found
In one corner Jennifer stood firm like she’d been taught
While Mikey cried for someone to protect him from his thoughts
Safy’s food was thrown at Jen who still refused to bend
Pilon kept repeating that my swords my only friend
And everyone started dancing to a song they couldn’t stand
It started out slowly but it soon got out of hand
Penny racing down the stairs went crashing into Ken
Jennifer begged Dick to drop the needle start again
And Chester wandered in dressed like the salamander prince
He entertained the cat all night I haven’t seen it since
Drake was spending evening only staring out the door
Saf complained how dick would never notice what she wore
Khor cried out beneath the den but no one seemed to hear
Finally the furniture stopped trying to interfere
The crowd began to dissipate but Tim could smell the spore
These actions like a drug would always bring them back for more more more
Through the years we’ve suffered most
The things we’ve never spoken
And still I think you know
If looks could kill wed both be broken
Though after all this time it seems
Not eachother’s kind
Never think that I don’t know
What’s going through your mind
Misty wanted madness, formed a shell around my brain
Pulls my foot inside the window to protect it from the rain
I rise again in silence but I hear a distant call
I turn towards the disturbance and find a zipper in the wall
I slowly peel it open, it reveals a blinding light
So I stumble through the port hole as a force destroys the night
Adjusting to the brightness as this evenings gets to fold
Im surrounded by resentment or a mirror of my soul
Ashamed of my reflection, I reverse and try to flee
But the image that I run from only seems to follow me
The port hole that I came through just ahead within the haze
Dissolves as I approach it and I only find a maze
Though my strategy is wasteful and I fail at every turn
These corridors that I wander are the least of my concerns
But the walls are made of mirrors despite what you might say
No matter where I turn I may never get away way way
Through the years we’ve suffered most
The things we’ve never spoken
And still I think you know
If looks could kill we’d both be broken
Though after all this time it seems
We’re not eachothers kind
Never think that I dont know
What’s going through your mind
