You talk with no stick You think you know Just what to do Chiding the weak It's weaker than The fake strength You exude I don't believe That you know who You are, what you want Or where you're gonna be And you don't see That your whole worldview Smacks of insecurity 'Cause You're caught Staring in a shaded mirror Everybody can see it clear The one way street, the dead end that is you ♪ A long, long time ago A friend had had it all The Prince of Steele Towne Beside the Queen of Tarot Card As the wise man sang so long ago "She brings Broken Dreams Fallen Stars, the Endless Search for where you are!" But she was right and he was wrong He hurt her like so many songs And like a fool he found himself Trading mercy for regret Honestly, I must admit The friend is really me 'Cause I'm caught Staring in a shaded mirror Everybody can see it clear The one way street, the dead end now is me ♪ They walk the carpet With diamond gowns And hollow smiles They try to scare you And motivate your Walks in life Want you to need them So they sell you All their wares But we don't see Though they owe the world Owe the evil one within the dark 'Cause they're caught Staring in a shaded mirror Everybody can see it clear The one way street, the dead end's always them It's them It's them
