歌曲名 Mirror On The Wall (Album Version) 歌手名 Bruce Hornsby

I'd like to try throwing the I-Ching

I'd like to try some analyzing my writing

I'd like 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 gofer, getting bagels for the UN

Maybe I'll cruise bars in futile search of perfect tens

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 hand-writing 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

Tell 'em my old stories, you know the older you get the better you were

You can be my right hand, tell me when I'm a joke

And maybe they'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

And hand-writing 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 invent the nuclear magnetic resonance stomp

Or create a synthetic hue for you

Or make chemical breakthroughs

Take a map of the genome and get 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 play with me?

Still I'll wonder where we'll be

Will you take this ride...

Will you take this ride with me?

With me...
