There's No Reflection Here at All



At the bottom there's a stir
And now the surface is a blur

Tell the truth like it's a joke
And don't fix the part that isn't broke

I know I'm just a memory
And I know that's how it's got to be

So tell the mirror on the wall
"Mirror, mirror on the wall;
There's no reflection here at all"

Mirror, mirror on the wall
There's no reflection here at all.

I'm so tired that I can't sleep
The secrets that my secrets keep
Down the stairway to the church

Blackbirds hanging in the lurch
I don't want to see my name in stone

I tied a ribbon round a bone
Took a ride in a yellow car
And bought myself an old guitar

Things ain't what they used to be
I've gotta devil after me

Tell the mirror on the wall
Mirror mirror on the wall

There's no reflection here at all
Mirror, mirror on the wall

There's no reflection here at all.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
There's no reflection here at all.

You're looking high, you're looking low
You've got something on your mind

Did someone give you bad directions?
Were you in the wrong place at the wrong time?
They found a body in the river

They found a note left in the sand
"Leave my worries to the water
And leave my body to the land"
