'Til It Shines - Thunder

I look in the mirror, I stand one eighty five

I’m glad I’m not too short, I’m glad that I’m alive

There’s sometimes on a bad day, I got no self esteem

Especially when I see those shiny color magazines

Lord, you know I can see the picture now

Of the transformation they could do for me

If I was dumb enough I’d pick up that phone

And get in line, and they could stretch my sallow skin until it shines

Desire and envy, welling up in your heart

You wanna take a hammer to your next door neighbours car

So you dream of the good life, and how the fantasy burns

Makes you gamble on the tv, but you’ll never ever learn

One in a million is better odds than you’ve got

But you still believe that this could be the one

Why don’t you just relax and try to concieve the perfect plan

Or you can rub your lucky charm until it shines

Until it shines

You spent your heart and money on a house of cards

Not knowing which way the wind will blow

Invested all your loveing on a crazy whim

And there’s no telling where she’ll go

So you spend your time dreaming, thinking how it used to be

'Til you come to know the meaning of regreat

You’ve convinced yourself that everything’s going how it ought to be,

in your head

You’re polishing the dirt until it shines

Lord until it shines, oh

Until it shines

Lord until it shines, oh

All that we’re praying for, it ain’t always what we find

So all of us sit waiting for the sun until it shines
