Is That Me

(From The Album "Artificial Hip")

Leaning on a broken crutch, seen a lot but ain't done much
Sleeping through a pile of good intentions
Had a plan it's here somewhere, underneath this padded chair
Between the couch and the television
Well morning makes a claim and again I'll play the game
But first there's something I've just got to say

Is that really me in the mirror, is that me in this picture
Could it be I've lived through all those years?
Is that me in the mirror, I can see someone familiar
but it seems the laughter and the tears have all but passed him by.

Hey here comes Father Time holding up a cardboard sign
Says "any day could be the end" now
Never knew what he was about, I always laughed and kicked him out
he just said "Hey that's OK" now
Well here's another day, it's free to throw away
But first there's something I've just got to say

Is that me in the mirror, is that me in this picture
Could it be I've lived through all those years?
Is that me in the mirror, I can see someone familiar
But it seems the laughter and the tears have all but passed him by.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the one that dropped the ball?

Hey babe let's take a ride, man I've got to blow this dive
I don't care where we go now
Hit the road and have some fun, checking out while we're still young
We'll heave the TV out the window
So here's another day, let's make the bastards pay
But first there's something I've just got to say

Is that me...?
