It’s a trick
It’s a trick
It’s a trick of the light
Don’t look in the mirror tonight
Red dress on
I’m a stranger in this room
Dancing alone
But I feel you in the gloom
They say you’re not here
They say I’m seeing things
But this reflection in the mirror
Starts to breathe
Starts to sing
Ooh
It’s a trick of the light
Or am I losing my mind?
Ooh
It’s a trick of the light
Don’t look don’t look
Don’t look in the mirror tonight
Paula’s dancing in the mirror
Crying at the disco
Spinning with the flicker
Dancing like she doesn’t know
Is the light just getting dimmer?
Or is it just a show?
I’m dancing in the mirror
But who’s the girl in the afterglow?
Face to the glass
She’s a perfect imitation
I’ve been losing sleep
Over this conversation
Every little doubt becomes a constellation
Every little lie a stimulation
If I shatter her will I still be whole?
If I swallow her will I lose my soul?
Ooh
It’s a trick of the light
Am I losing my mind?
Ooh
It’s a trick of the light
Don’t look don’t look
Don’t look in the mirror tonight
Paula’s dancing in the mirror
Crying at the disco
Spinning with the flicker
Dancing like she doesn’t know
Is the light just getting dimmer?
Or is it just a show?
I’m dancing in the mirror
But who’s the girl in the afterglow?
A glitch in the machine
A flicker on the screen
She doesn’t say a thing
But she knows everything
This party’s in my head
I saw what she saw
A picture of myself
That I’ve never seen before
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL
MIRROR MIRROR …ON THE WALL
DON’T LIE TO ME!
PAULA’S DANCING IN THE MIRROR!
CRYING AT THE DISCO!
SPINNING WITH THE FLICKER!
DANCING LIKE SHE DOESN’T KNOW!
Is the light just getting dimmer?
Or is it just a show?
I SHATTERED THE MIRROR!
But a thousand Paulas on the floor are GLOWING!
A thousand Paulas on the floor
And they’re all crying at the disco
It was just a trick of the light
