Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The young man stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where he discovered a reflection of himself
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
[Verse 2]
Sometimes he saw his real face
And sometimes a stranger at his place
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
[Verse 3]
He fell in love with the image of himself
And suddenly the picture was distorted
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
[Verse 4]
He made up the person he wanted to be
And changed into a new personality
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
[Verse 5]
The artist is living in the mirror
With the echoes of himself
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
[Chorus]
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
