Mirror Freak lyrics

Oh exhibition yourself, we'll hold a show on the shelf

'Cos we can feel a change is on the way

You're not a skin or a spiv, boy who are you trying to kid

You're jolly handsome, super wizard, okay?

Would you resort to telling all your friends lies

When they can see right through your flimsy disguise?

We all consider you far out so there can be little doubt

You're gonna make it in a big, big way

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning

And the yobs have made a go at forgiving

And the new man he appears to be winning

Oh what a shame, such a bore!

Oh well I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I, I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite

You put your hand in the air and when they ask you say "yeah"

And they'll be happy to believe you're both kinds

Then shake a fist or a leg and prove the image is dead

Or the chances are you'll rip up their minds

Oh, you're too cute to be a big rock star

But if you're cool you may not push it too far

Oh just believe in yourself and take a tip from the elf

And sing a boogie to your image fatal

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning

And the yobs have made a go at forgiving

And the new man he appears to be winning

Oh what a shame, such a bore!

Oh well I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I, I don't wanna turn on tonite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite

You feel Loretta's deep breaths, you put a hand on her breast

You feel her come on like some movie-star chick

You slide your body across, you fight so hard to be boss

But sweet Loretta, she knows all the tricks

So you perform like it's your very last show

You turn her on but she's never gonna know

Then you can shuffle your hips or M-M-Mae West your lips

But you're the same old thing we've always known

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning

And the yobs have made a go at forgiving

And the new man he appears to be winning

Oh what a shame, such a bore!

Oh well I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I, I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

You know, don't wanna turn on tonite nite nite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite nite

I said I don't wanna turn on tonite
