Looking Glass

Lyrics by Lee Escandon
Music by Escandon/ Phillips

VERSE 1
Your father has so much to do
Your mother has big plans for you
If you don’t color outside of the lines

You know all the right things to say
Till the guests will at last go away
Safely backstage in a rage they’d find you
Undermine you

PRECHORUS
All that must be
All that trust be
-trayed by gilded times.

CHORUS
When you’re alone with yourself
And the makeup is up on the shelf
Worlds away, what will you say to the looking glass
Combs out all in a row
And your wardrobe laid out head to toe
Worlds away, what will you say to the looking glass

VERSE 2
He seems an agreeable find
But not quite what you had in mind
So much to see there’s a million things
What fortune brings you

They’re helping you out of your gown
Your bedding turned down like a frown
Nothing to do but submit and suffer
With another

PRECHORUS
Who is outside
By your lamplight
Writing words in rhyme

CHORUS 2 (same as Ch1)
CHORUS 3
When you’re alone with yourself
And the makeup is up on the shelf
Worlds away, what would you say to the looking glass
Combs out all in a row
And your wardrobe laid out head to toe
Worlds away, what would you say to the looking glass
