Nix Northwest
Rearview Mirror
[Intro: Lausse The Cat]
Hello, this is the Devil
Young Xin, as you run from the sun, think twice
For the birds
For the wings
For the ones too close
[?]

[Verse: Nix Northwest]
Looks like you did it again
Got carried away and dragged myself into oblivion
Of the little that I recall, I guarantee I made myself appear a fool
I'm sure that we had a real good time
Lost memory at the tenth mezcal and lime, uh
Well honestly, I wouldn't worry about it
In a couple hours Ima be alright
These days I'm only off the rails half the time and it's usually when I need a little peace of mind
Yeah, I'm bumpy as it may seem
Like bumping the Bakerloo from Picadilly to Kensal Green
Swerving the train workers, the excecution pristine
And I burst in the barrier, worshipping the joys of travelling free

[Chorus]
Keep checking my rearview mirror, even when there's no one around
Look I've got this funny feeling, so just for now I'm tryna keep my distance from the town
Forgive me if I didn't hear you right
Did you mention something about the sun?
Well I go where the fuck I want, and that's exactly where I've been heading, funnily enough
[Verse: Nix Northwest]
Mother gave me the warning, my Father taught me the lesson
'Bout how not to fill the hole of an alcoholic-depressive
Many a story told, and when single sally was stressing
A younger Xin could be found in his city, acting agressive
Clouds that followed him round as a boy until it would rain
If he was lucky, washed the vermillion off his face
The red mist that surrounded him almost upon the daily could just about form the words that could be read
Somebody save me
Not to mention the females that had me stuck between a rock and a hard place, uh
Forgetting all of the details but how I found my solace all in a heartbreak
Give me soft skin and a sweet touch
Help me cure the blues of the lonely
So I found me another mamacita
Yeah, what a shame she couldn't cure the way I feel

[Chorus]
Keep checking my rearview mirror, even when there's no one around
Look I've got this funny feeling, so just for now I'm tryna keep my distance from the town
Forgive me if I didn't hear you right
Did you mention something about the sun?
Well I go where the fuck I want, and that's exactly where I've been heading, funnily enough

[Verse: Nix Northwest]
Despite the fact this pussy wetter than Poseidon
I've had enough of empty fornication every night
And Mr Lucifer I think you've very much provided
But it seems that my demand of what you offer has subsided
I know that you've been on my tail for a little while
Dressing up in a black and white uniform as a disguise
But your skin is too red to be hiding behind blue light
So I can spot you a mile off, time that we bid goodbye
