Mirror Behind The Bar

(album: 52 New Blue - 2022)

It's like I'm looking at a masterpiece
Behind the bottles up on the shelf
Of all the places with neon faces
Wouldn't wanna be anywhere else
Crazy Mary's up on her throne
Drinking red wine through a straw
And those frat boys
Are just cat toys
To the blonde sharpening her claws

Hey, hey, hey!
Ain't life just a work of art
Hey, hey, hey!
Painted in the mirror behind the bar

Marty pours whiskey
With his eyes closed
Old Charlie likes to drink it that way
And that pinstripe suit probably calling home
Like he's working late again today
Yeah the smart girls sitting on the corner stools
They're keeping each other on track
One says she's trying to fall out of love
And the other's trying to fall right back

Hey, hey, hey!
Ain't life just a work of art
Hey, hey, hey!
In the mirror behind the bar
Hey, hey, hey!
It's my favourite work of art
Hey, hey, hey!
Painted in the mirror behind the bar, yeah

It's a silver canvas, one of a kind
The picture of all these people
I swear this frame
Could hang beside Da Vinci's Mona Lisa

Hey, hey, hey!
Ain't we all just a work of art?
Hey, hey, hey!
Smiling in the mirror behind the bar
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, we're all just a work of art
Hey, hey, hey!
In the mirror behind the bar
Hey, hey, hey!
It's my favourite work of art
Hey, hey, hey!
Painted in the mirror behind the bar, yeah
