Mirror On the Wall Lyrics

I'd like to try throwing the I Ching
I'd like to try someone analyzing my writing
I'd like to see what's written on the crystal stones
And see what happens if I put on my turban
And start throwing bones, heyMaybe I'll be a gopher
And getting bagels for the U.N.
Maybe I'll cruise bars
In futile search of perfect 10'sAnd maybe I'll be the legendary
Scandal-ridden pol
Keeping up my solid citizen front
When I'm really just bought and soldMirror, mirror on the wall
Palm readings and crystal balls
It's obvious for all to see
How uncertain it will beAnd handwriting and dice rolls
I Ching and crystal stones
And tea leaves and astrology
Get someone to interpret your dreamsStill I don't know where we'll be
Will you take this ride with me?Maybe I'll be a doctor

Ophthalmologist, checking out eyes
Maybe I'll get a job
Making little skinny curly friesI might feel important
As a security guard
And I'd love to lean on you
When times get too hard, heyMaybe I'll be the overweight
Ex-jock chasing skirts
Telling my old stories, you know
The older you get the better you wereYou could be my right hand
Tell me when I'm a joke
And maybe there'll be some times
When we feel like we're not just blowing smokeMirror, mirror on the wall
Palm readings and crystal balls
It's obvious for all to see
How uncertain it will beHandwriting and dice rolls
I Ching and crystal stones
And tea leaves and astrology
Get someone to interpret your dreamsStill I don't know where we'll be
Will you take this ride with me, with me?Maybe I'll invent the nuclear
Magnetic resonance stomp
Or create a synthetic hue for you
Or maybe chemical breakthroughsTake a map of genome
And give directions to a friend
And develop a crumb-crisp coating
For a new cake and ice cream blend, heyMirror, mirror on the wall
Palm readings and crystal balls
It's obvious for all to see
How uncertain it will beFortune tellers and mirrored walls
Tarot cards and ouija boards
And tea leaves and astrology
Why don't you come and lay with me?Still I wonder where we'll be
Will you take this ride
Will you take this ride with me, with me?
