I Am Alone

Thank you for going back in time
And thwarting my assassin
And while we’re laughing about it
I know you didn’t really do that
This was a test and you failed
Before you fire I should inform you
One of us is a double
I took the trouble to swap ties
Somebody taps you on the shoulder
You don’t know who is your friend
Let’s just all take a deep breath and slowly
Lower our weapons to the floor
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
Everyone take off your disguises
I see you and your brother
Dressed as each other this time
So now it appears the double-crossers
Have been too clever by half
The fox has been
Outfoxed again
The row of smug expressions
All arrayed around are wiped away, so
Let’s all just take a deep breath and slowly
Lower our weapons to the floor
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I’m by myself
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
