Song title: 5 Chinese Brothers - My Dad's Face

Edit By: 216.73.216.40

Tom meltzer

When I look in the mirror I see my dads face
Where my face used to be
Then I realize that he was about my age
When he started his own family
Then my radicalism, all my college marxism
Starts drifting on out to deep sea
When I look in the mirror and I see my dads face
Where my face used to be

When I was a kid I used to look at my dad
And Id say, this is who I am not.
He used bryl-creem, I used hair spray
He was fat, I was skinny
He drank beer, I smoked pot
But now my feet are disappearing beneath an ocean of beer
And not so mysteriously
When I look at my face I see in its place
My dads physiognomy

I used to look at my friends, they looked fifty years older
Some nights when Id get too stoned
Thats when I believed time was a visible line
With its end and beginning both shown
Now I know thats not true
But Ive still got an idea pretty much of what I can expect
When I look in the mirror and I see my dads mug
Sitting there right on top of my neck

Well, my dad had it rough, he couldnt keep his true love
He never reached his sought-after perfection
So as I headed down my own lifes road
I headed straight in the other direction
Now, when I turn around, hes not so far away
And were on the same road, I can see
When I look in the mirror and I see my dads face
Where my face used to be
