Mirror Mirror

(album: The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle - 2012)

Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me is it all my fault
Don't you look at me like that
I'm not so bad

It's exactly like you told me
If I were you then you'd be lonely
If you were me then you'd kiss and hold me
'Cause I'm so sad

And I'm glad that everything's dissolving
The sun's down and the earth's revolving
Everything looks so expensive
You must think I'm so pretentious
They all have the best intentions
That's the devil's best invention
Take the pill, get the reference
They'll get us all arrested

Locked away, throw away the key
Now we get to eat for free
Call your parents, no reply
Stick a needle in my eye
If I die before I wake
Make sure all the lines are straight
And all the words stay in their place
All I ever wanted was a little taste of sugar

Ooh, honey, honey
Let's get together
We can make a lot of money

Sit there sulking on the stairs
Brown eyes and silky hair
Breathing in the filthy air
Where it comes from, no one cares

Where it goes, up your nose
Past your tongue and down your throat
Where it lands, plant a rose
Dig it up before it grows

And if you can't afford new clothes
Rip apart your pantyhose
Cut your pants and strike a pose
With everything that can be exposed

Hide your eyes, talk real slow
In the famous sultry tone
Get the dreamboat all alone
It won't be hard to drag him home

Is he the one who loves you so?
Do you really wanna know?
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his hips that's where it is
And if you're sure that this is it
Go ahead and slit your wrists
Because ever since we were little kids
All I ever wanted was a little bit of sugar

Ooh, honey, honey
Let's get together
We can make a lot of money
