Deep Dark Truthful Mirror - Elvis Costello

One day you're going to have to face

A deep dark truthful mirror

And it's going to tell you things that
I still love you too much to say

The sky was just a purple bruise

The ground was iron

And you fell all around the town until
You looked the same

The same eyes the same
Lips the same lie from
Your tongue trips

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Now the flagstone streets where
The newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts

But you're never in any doubt
There's something happening somewhere

You chase down the road til your fingers bleed

On a fiberglass tumbleweed

You can blow around the town

But it all shuts down the same

The same eyes the same lips

The same lie from
Your tongue trips

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks

They set him up

Set him up on the stool

He falls down
Falls down like a drunk

And you drink til you drool

And it's his story you'll flatter

You'll stretch him out like a saint

But the canvas that he splattered will be the
Picture that you never paint

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

A stripping puppet on a liquid
Stick gets into it pretty thick

A butterfly drinks a turtles tears
But how do you know he really needs it

Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkeys hand

Jesus wept he felt abandoned

You're spellbound baby there's no doubting that
Did you ever see a stare like a persian cat

The same eyes the same lips the same lie

Your tongue trips

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror
