Mirror on the Wall

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, hey Maybe I'll be a gopher And getting bagels for the U.N. Maybe I'll cruise bars In futile search of perfect 10's And maybe I'll be the legendary Scandal-ridden pol Keeping up my solid citizen front When I'm really just bought and sold Mirror, mirror on the wall Palm readings and crystal balls It's obvious for all to see How uncertain it will be And handwriting and dice rolls I Ching and crystal stones And tea leaves and astrology Get someone to interpret your dreams Still 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 fries I might feel important As a security guard And I'd love to lean on you When times get too hard, hey Maybe I'll be the overweight Ex-jock chasing skirts Telling my old stories, you know The older you get the better you were You 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 smoke Mirror, mirror on the wall Palm readings and crystal balls It's obvious for all to see How uncertain it will be Handwriting and dice rolls I Ching and crystal stones And tea leaves and astrology Get someone to interpret your dreams Still 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 breakthroughs Take a map of genome And give directions to a friend And develop a crumb-crisp coating For a new cake and ice cream blend, hey Mirror, mirror on the wall Palm readings and crystal balls It's obvious for all to see How uncertain it will be Fortune 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?
