Verse 1
I used to run these streets till the sky turned red
Chased the dawn with a fire that burned in my head
Now I’m countin’steps from the bed to the bathroom floor
Yeah the mirror don’t lie anymore
I built this house with these two calloused hands
Carried my babies made wedding-night plans
Now they tremble just tryin’to button my shirt
And the man in the glass looks like he lost the war
Chorus
These arms held the world when the world was mine
These eyes saw forever in ’99
Doctor says numbers don’t climb they only fall
And the mirror don’t lie at all
No the mirror don’t lie anymore
Verse 2
She still reaches for me in the half-light of dawn
But the want in my blood don’t answer at all
I fake a cough roll over pretend I’m asleep
While the silence between us grows heavy and deep
I bought the pills that come in orange and white
Swallow my pride with ’em every night
They promise the hunger the steel the roar
But the mirror don’t lie anymore
Chorus
These arms held the world when the world was mine
These legs ran for glory in ’85
Now they ache like the truth I can’t ignore
Yeah the mirror don’t lie anymore
Bridge (band drops to just kick drum and B3)
I ain’t asking for nineteen again
Just one morning I wake up and feel like a man
Not this stranger with silver in his beard
Starin’back like he disappeared
(Sax solo that sounds like it’s crying then full band slams back in)
Final Chorus (half-step up voice cracking on purpose)
These arms held the world now they’re letting it go
These eyes seen enough to know what they know
Getting old is a thief that don’t bother with doors
And the mirror don’t lie
Goddamn it the mirror don’t lie
No the mirror don’t lie anymore
