I Went to The Mirror — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

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

Theres something sticking out of the middle

I guess its my nose (I suppose)

I just dont recognize those eyes

All these years Ive 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? whats it all about?

Wheres it all at? I dont 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 whos 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 wont 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 Im going

Bald. I had hair all over the sink or something...
