IN THE MIRROR
Stanley, Kulick, Cuomo
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1]
[Rhy. fig 2]
[Rhy. fig 1]
You were in the right
Until you're left stuck in the middle
I still wonder why
[Rhy. fig 3a]
You gave it all for such a little
[Rhy. fig 4]
You, tell me you're only
Scared to be lonely
On and on
You, livin' on credit
Want it, you get it
Right or wrong
[Rhy. fig 5]
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
[Rhy. fig 1]
You appear to me
Appear to be lost in confusion
[Rhy. fig 2]
[Rhy. fig 1]
I don't wanna live
[Rhy. fig 3a]
Only to die in your illusion
[Rhy. fig 4 with Riff 1a & Riff 1b]
You, dial information
Station to station
On and on
You, lie to your lover
Make him your cover
Blindfold on
[Rhy. fig 5]
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
[Rhy. fig 6]
Only a matter of time
Leavin' illusion behind
Tick Tock
[Rhy. fig 7] (2x)
[Solo over Rhy. fig 5]
[Rhy. fig 1 with Riff 2]
You won't realize
'Till all the eyes are truly open
You can't hide away
[Rhy. fig 3b]
Throw what you may, when all is broken
[Rhy. fig 5]
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
[Riff 3]
