leon russell - magic mirror (2001 recording) lyrics
[verses 1-6]
i’m standing by the highway
suitcase by my side
no place i want to go
i just thought i’d take a ride
many people look my way
many p-ss me by
in my quiet reflection
i wonder why
to the thieves i am a bandit
to the mothers i’m a son
to the preachers i’m a sinner
lord i’m not the only one
to the sad ones i’m unhappy
to the losers i’m a fool
to the students i’m a teacher
with the teachers i’m unschooled
to the hobos i’m imprisoned
by everything i own
to the soldier i’m just someone else
who’s dying to go home
the general sees a number
a politician’s tool
to my friends i’m just an equal
in this whirlpool
[chorus]
magic mirror won’t you tell me please
do i find myself in anyone i see?
magic mirror if we only could
try to see ourselves as others would
[verses 7-10]
to policemen i’m suspicious
it’s in the way i look
i’m just another character
to fingerprint and book
to the censor i’m p-rnography
with no redeeming grace
to the hooker i’m a customer
without a face
the sellers think i’m merchandise
they’ll have me for a song
the left ones think i’m right
the right ones think i’m wrong
and many people look my way
many p-ss me by
and in my quiet reflection
i wonder why
[chorus]
magic mirror won’t you tell me please
do i find myself in anyone i see?
magic mirror if we only could
try to see ourselves as others would
