lyrics

Got stuck in the mirror, making eyes with my superiors
Thought about joining the national army
Daydreamed blue-jeaned Elvis Presleys shaking their fists at me
Thought no, I’m too young and killing’s not for me

Cracked the mirror from smiling, I’m not me, I’m inferior
Thought about joining the police department
Nightmare tweed jacket Clint Eastwoods shaking hands with me
Thought, no…

And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow

Got caught in reflection, wide-eyed I still can’t get them
Thought about jumping ship, head for the arctic
Daydreamed killer icebergs drowning me
Thought no, I hate the cold and I’m already passed living

And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow
What you know?

Touched my face 1,000 times, hoping someone would take me home
And love me decently; lay me down upon the floor
She turned me on and then she turned on me

Got stuck in the mirror - got stuck, got stuck

And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow
What you know?
