Taking Up Space Songtext
von The Cavedogs

Her in the mirror
You seem to fear her now
She′s taking up the space
That once made her so proud
Beauty is passion
You've seen it rationed out
Remember what you had once in pursuit and doubt

It′s drilled into your head
You'll live it 'til you′re dead
Sally doesn′t sleep a lot at night
Sometimes she wish she could
But the preparation must begin with the light
To look is to be good


A stranger inside
That sees what's confined to fate
Taking what you are
And hiding it away
The model you follow
Seems it′s too hollow to meet
Whatever is this time
Starts pushing at your seams

It's drilled into your head
It′s the only thing you've left
Sally doesn′t dream a lot at night
The days you seem to fool
Be content with the world
Her mother said
You are too beautiful

Her in the mirror
You seem to fear her now
She's taking up the space
That once made her so proud
Beauty is passion
You've seen it rationed out
Remember what you had once in pursuit and doubt

It′s drilled into your head

You′ll live it 'til you′re dead


Sally's not asleep
There′s no light on
She never really could
It's so late and strange all along
She never understood
So she throws the curtains open wide
The street lights fill the empty room
But they just pass her by
No one can see
That she is beautiful now
