Am7
I woke up this morning
C Em
Didn't recognize the man in the mirror
G C D
Then I laughed and I said, "oh silly me, that's just me"
Am7 C
Then I proceeded to brush some stranger's teeth
Em G
But they were my teeth, and I was weightless
C D
Just quivering like some leaf
Am7
Come in the window of a restroom
 
I couldn't tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
But it was a monday, no a tuesday
No wednesday, thursday, friday
Then saturday came around and I said
"who's this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink? "
 
All he ever wanted was to be someone in life
That was just like
All I want is to just have fun
Live my life like a son of a gun
If I could be one thousand miles away
And still me would I stay?
 
Then I woke up one morning
Didn't recognize the man in the mirror
Then I laughed and I said, "oh silly me, that's just me"
Then I proceeded to not comb some stranger's hair
Never was my style
 
But I couldn't tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
Because it was a monday, no a tuesday
No wednesday, thursday, friday
Then saturday came around and I said
"who's this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink? "
But he was sporting all my clothes
I gotta say I'm pretty pimpin'
 
All he ever wanted was to be a man
But he was always a little too cute
To be admitted under marbles lost
He was always a thousand miles away
While still standing in front of your face
 
Then he woke up this morning
Didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
Then laughed and said, "oh silly me, that's just me"
Then I proceeded to brush some stranger's teeth
But they were my teeth, and I was weightless
Just quivering like some leaf
Come in the window of a restroom
 
And I couldn't tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
Cause it was a monday, no a tuesday
No wednesday, thursday, friday
Then saturday came around and I said
"who's this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink? "
But he was sporting all my clothes
I gotta say pretty pimpin
 
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn't recognize the boy in the mirror
