Mirror Images |
If I’m the mirror and you’re the image |
Then what’s the secret between the two? |
These 'Me's and 'You's, how many can there be? |
Oh, I don’t mind all that around the place |
As long as you keep it well away from me |
I’ve begun to regret that we ever met between the dimensions |
It gets such a strain to pretend that the change |
Is anything but cheap with your infant pique |
And your angst pretensions, sometimes you act like a creep |
And now I’m standing in the corner, looking at the room and the furniture |
In cheap imitation of alienation and grief |
And now we’re going to the kitchen, fix ourselves a drink and a cigarette |
Getting no closer to being the joker or thief |
Who’s a joker who’s the thief |
Who’s a joker who’s the thief |
Still, I reflect, this nervous wreck who stands before me |
Can see as well, can surely tell that he’s not yet free |
He can turn aside but can no more ignore me |
Than know which one of us is he |
Than tell what we are going to be, than know which one of is me |
Take the mirror away, take the mirror away |
Take the mirror away |
I know that it’s gone but the real one will stay |
