Electric Doormat – Reflect lyrics

You don't want to get old
And you don't want to get fat
You don't want to get what you're gonna get
None of this ever lasts

You don't want to be crazy
You don't want to be mad
You don't want to be what's you're gonna be
But it's coming up fast

Some say you're far away
In a place we've never been
Some say you're empty under your skin

You reflect yourself
You repeat yourself
You
You impede yourself
You defeat yourself
You

You don't want to get out
And you don't want to get in
You don't want to get what you're gonna get
Never lose, never win

You don't want to be ugly
You don't want to be poor
You don't want to take off your makeup
And slather on even more

Maybe you're happy
Trying to be what you are not
Ripe outside but the inside's starting to rot

You reflect yourself
You repeat yourself
You
You impede yourself
You defeat yourself
You

If you could just go back
To the way you were before
Before age eroded all you live for

You could change yourself
You could save yourself
You
You could see yourself
You could be yourself again
