Mirror in the bathroom Please talk free The door is locked Just you and me Can I take you to a restaurant That's got glass tables? You can watch yourself While you are eating Mirror in the bathroom I just can't stop it Every Saturday you see me Window shopping Find no interest in the Racks and shelves Just a thousand reflections Of my own sweet self, self, self, self, self Mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom Recompense For all my crimes Of self defense Cures you whisper Make no sense Drift gently into Mental illness Mirror in the bathroom Please talk free The door is locked Just you and me Can I take you to a restaurant That's got glass tables You can watch yourself While you are eating Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom Mirror in the bathroom
