Asaf Avidan - Subconscious Overly-Familiar Blues lyrics

There is a beggar in the mirror, babe He's standing there since noon He's asking for a sacrament But he's singing out of tune There is a beggar in the mirror, babe He got a monkey on his knees He jitters as he falls asleep Reminiscent of the trees Oh what, what a strange way To make me start my day With this news Of theses Subconscious, Overly-Familiar Blues There is a French girl in the mirror babe She's wearing satin strings Her dog is named Toulouse Lautrec He's seen some dirty things There's a piano in the mirror, babe But all it's keys are black The monkey plays a muted horn The French girl plays a cello in the back Oh what, what a strange way To make me start my day With this news Of theses Subconscious, Overly-Familiar Blues There is a bottle in the mirror, babe And it's full of past regrets And the beggar and the French girl Are drinking to forget There is a windmill in the mirror babe Which the monkey painted red There are hookers singing lullabies For all the tears the beggar shed Oh what, what a strange way To make me start this day With this news Of theses Subconscious, Overly-Familiar Blues There is a midget in the mirror babe And a giant on his head And the midget's made of gummy-bears And the giant's made of led There is a beggar in the mirror babe He's howling at the moon He's asking for repentance But he's singing out of tune Oh what, what a strange way To make me start my day With this news Of theses Subconscious, Overly-Familiar Blues
