When I look in the mirror
Who are all these people I see?
When I look in the mirror
None of these people are me
It’s strange
and I’m strange
and something has got to change
Oh man!
Here comes that feeling once again
and I remember where I’ve been
It’s coming back at me and then
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!!!
It must be some past-life thing
It must be the reason why
You never know why...
until you’re looking in
Oh... my!
Oh... my!!!
It’s resurrection on the wind
I’m in the mirror looking in,
and The World is looking out
All while I am looking in
When I got out of prison
I was slow-walking on air
I had no destination
I was free without a care
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
Everyone was locked up
I watched them doing time.
All The World was there...
and If I wanted it... was mine
Till I forgot about the mirror
and the people that I saw,
and none of them were me
No... no... not any more
You have to keep one single face,
and you must wear it everyplace
It is the single face you show
and what the others see
is what the others know
If your face starts falling down,
they will know you’re back in town
instead of being in a place
they only used to hear about
You want to be a rumor
dancing in their minds.
Then you control the mystery
of the symbols and the signs.
You want them to look out
for the benefit of doubt.
It tells them that maybe,
you are someone else
that feeds into the questions
that the mirror asks itself
that makes them think the mirror
is a trustworthy device
and they will give you everything
if you ask them nice
and no one thinks it’s strange
even if it’s getting stranger
than at any time
or anyone they’ve ever met down the line
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
It’s strange
Something has got to change
Something has really got to change
Oh man!
Here comes that feeling
That same feeling again,
and I remember where I’ve been
I’m starting to remember when
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!!!
It must be some past-life thing
It has got to be the reason why
that none of them ever know why,
but you know why they don’t
and if they will or won’t
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
Oh... my!
Oh... my!!!
It’s resurrection on the wind,
and I am in the mirror looking in,
and The World is looking out
I am in the mirror looking in
I am in the mirror looking in
He looks into the mirror
and he sees himself in prison
Then he walks out of the mirror,
and he sees The World in prison
in the mirror
I cannot be more clear
I can’t be more precise,
and I will give you everything
if you ask me nice
Yes! I will give you everything,
if you ask me nice.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
I’m in the mirror, looking out and looking in.
Oh! I’m in the mirror looking out and looking in
