Mirror, mirror Do you like What you see? I'll dance for you If you dance for me Who says a woman Cannot serve? It would be my pleasure Who says it is Not my destiny To let you control me? Underneath the disco light Everybody's feelin' all right Get on your hands and knees And praise the new deity Serve the ego Serve the ego Two ships sailing On a neon sea Eat the flesh Spit out the seeds Feathered hair And lame heels What turns me on Is so surreal Underneath the disco light Everybody's feelin' all right Get on your hands and knees And praise the new deity Serve the ego Serve the ego Tut tut, oh, to discover oh Oh no, you're yesterday's lover Underneath the disco light Everybody's feelin' all right Get on your hands and knees And praise the new deity Serve the ego Serve the ego
