Go To The Mirror

Smithereens · Tommy [2009]

He seems to be completely unreceptive

The tests I gave him show no sense at all

His eyes react to light, the dials detect it

He hears but cannot answer to your call



See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me



There is no chance, no untried operation

All hope lies with him and none with me

Imagine though the shock from isolation

When he suddenly can hear and speak and see



See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me



His eyes can see, his ears can hear his lips speak

All the time the needles flick and rock

No machine can give the kind of stimulation

Needed to remove his inner block



Go to the mirror, boy

Go to the mirror, boy



I often wonder what he is feeling

Has he ever heard a word I've said

Look at him in the mirror dreaming

What is happening in his head?



Listening to you, I get the music

Gazing at you, I get the heat

Following you, I climb the mountains

I get excitement at your feet



Right behind you, I see the millions

On you, I see the glory

From you, I get opinions

From you, I get the story



What is happening in his head?

Ooh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew
