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 |
