Paroles de Whole Cloth

On what do you base your life, my friend? Can you see around the bend? Can you see? On what star do you take your sight On a cold and blowy night Alone, alone? Old man can you make a mirror for me? It's got to be clearer than air for me 'Cause you see I can't see me, no And I always thought that I meant what I said But you know that lately I've read We were lying All of us lying Just making it up, yeah Cuttin' it out of whole cloth, yeah.
