Ballad of Another Man

So you wanna try something

Little different now

Wanna chase the horizon

Until the road you walk runs out

And if it can't satisfy

All those feelings inside

You know you gotta wait down by the river bank

Until the changing of the tied

Don't go

Looking for something

If your scared of what you'll find

Don't be lead by something unless the cards you play are blind

Unless you play them blind

The man in the mirror

It's like calling to the wind

Spitting songs all over your face

Or tracking down an enemy

Even though it's you that's digging your own grave

Two illusions

One deaf one blind

The planet in destruction at the cause of all man kind

Never wanted for nothing

Don't need something else

Can't take no advice

Until I find something else

So don't go running out of ideas too soon

Cause it'll be the man in the mirror

That'll have you howling at the moon

The man in the mirror

So pace yourself for the winter

Cause you know all seasons change

You speak of your wisdom

But you can't look at your own face

Every time it reaches a crescendo

You walk out the room

You've got a little black book with my name in

And you keep me on a silver spoon

Postcard for sale

Twenty cent my friend and I can't write home

There's no blood left in my pen

There's thunder on the mountain

And a shipwreck on the sea

So I'll wear this disguise

For everyone to see

So don't go

Running out of ideas too soon

Cause it'll be the man in the mirror

That'll have you howling at the moon

The man in the mirror

You see the man in the mirror
