I'd like to try throwing the I-Ching |
|
I'd like to try some analyzing my writing |
|
I'd like what's written on the crystal stones |
|
And see what happens if I put on my turban and start throwing bones, hey! |
|
Maybe I'll be a gofer, getting bagels for the UN |
|
Maybe I'll cruise bars in futile search of perfect tens |
|
And maybe I'll be the legendary scandal-ridden pol |
|
Keeping up my solid citizen front when I'm really just bought and sold |
|
Mirror, mirror on the wall |
|
Palm readings and crystal balls |
|
It's obvious for all to see |
|
How uncertain it will be |
|
And hand-writing and dice rolls |
|
I-Ching and crystal stones |
|
And tea leaves and astrology |
|
Get someone to interpret your dreams |
|
Still I don't know where we'll be |
|
Will you take this ride with me |
|
Maybe I'll be a doctor, ophthalmologist checking out eyes |
|
Maybe I'll get a job making little skinny curly fries |
|
I might feel important as a security guard |
|
And I'd love to lean on you when times get too hard, hey! |
|
Maybe I'll be the overweight ex-jock chasing skirts |
|
Tell 'em my old stories, you know the older you get the better you were |
|
You can be my right hand, tell me when I'm a joke |
|
And maybe they'll be some times when we feel like we're not just blowing smoke |
|
Mirror, mirror on the wall |
|
Palm readings and crystal balls |
|
It's obvious for all to see |
|
How uncertain it will be |
|
And hand-writing and dice rolls |
|
I-Ching and crystal stones |
|
And tea leaves and astrology |
|
Get someone to interpret your dreams |
|
Still I don't know where we'll be |
|
Will you take this ride with me? |
|
Maybe I'll invent the nuclear magnetic resonance stomp |
|
Or create a synthetic hue for you |
|
Or make chemical breakthroughs |
|
Take a map of the genome and get directions to a friend |
|
And develop a crumb, crisp coating for a new cake and ice cream blend, hey! |
|
Mirror, mirror on the wall |
|
Palm readings and crystal balls |
|
It's obvious for all to see |
|
How uncertain it will be |
|
Fortune tellers and mirrored walls |
|
Tarot cards and Ouija boards |
|
And tea leaves and astrology |
|
Why don't you come and play with me? |
|
Still I'll wonder where we'll be |
|
Will you take this ride... |
|
Will you take this ride with me? |
|
With me... |
