Song | I Went To The Mirror |
Artist | Todd Rundgren |
Album | Something/Anything? |
In a voice soaked with euphoria: | |
I went to the mirror this morning | |
I looked in the mirror instead | |
The first thing to come into focus | |
Was a face wrapped all around my head | |
There's something sticking out of the middle | |
I guess it's my nose (i suppose) | |
I just don't recognize those eyes | |
All these years i've been watching from the other side | |
The voice is now one of brutal stupefication. the underlying question is - "if | |
You went crazy, would you know it?" | |
Uh oh, here i go thinking them crazy thoughts again. | |
Who is that there? you mean i been walking around | |
In that all these years? what's it all about? | |
Where's it all at? i don't want to get heavy but | |
What am i doing here? uh | |
My lip has a dark spot upon it | |
(the voice of a mature adult who's comprehensive | |
Capacity has suddenly been reduced to that of a | |
Cherrystone clam) | |
My teeth look like plastic in chips | |
And there on my chin i discover | |
One lonely red and arrogant zit | |
I went about my business this morning | |
You got to get out of bed and make that bread | |
But try as i may to get away | |
I won't forget what i seen in the mirror today | |
Boogie on out to a brand new day. | |
Get off your back and dance! | |
I seen my eyes. i seen my nose. my lips. my teeth. | |
My, my gums. i seen my gums! i looked all the way | |
Down my throat! i looked at my ears. i looked real | |
Hard at my ears. i looked at my hair. i think i'm going | |
Bald. i had hair all over the sink or something... |
