Lyrics for I Went to the Mirror
I went to the mirror this morning I looked in the mirror instead The first thing to come into focus 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 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 uh, what am I doing here? My lip has a dark spot upon it My teeth look like plastic in chips And there on my chin I discover 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 I won't forget what I seen in the mirror today I won't forget what I seen in the mirror today I seen my eyes, I seen my nose I seen 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
