Originally written for Pol Pot’s Pleasure Penthouse, The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s first ever demo tape. This version is sung by Tess Parks, the song itself seems to be about drug use and very possibly with Anton Newcomb’s struggles with alcohol abuse.
Looking through the looking glass
All that seems won't ever last
Broken glass in every drink
My true love, I never see
Slipping through my fingertips, like sand
Slipping through my fingertips, sand
Stare into the drinking glass
Walking slow, faces pass
Sipping through my fingertips, like sand
Sipping through my fingertips, each time
Sipping through my fingertips, sand
