Narcissus (Bar & Grill)
[Verse 1]
It's a private club, so exclusive that the membership is one;
You can walk right in, can be sure your face is always welcome here
Drink up your fill: this is the Narcissus bar & grill
So you can do what you will to reveal who you are

[Verse 2]
You can settle down, select your entertainment –
On reflection you'll be there in every surface;
You can take your time, there's no need to have a reservation here
Drink up your fill in the Narcissus bar & grill
Sweet daffodil, what a fascination you are
Ooh, what a thrill: you can be your own lucky star

[Bridge]
Falling in love with your reflection (Don't fall in love with your reflection)
I guess you've found your blind spot (No heart could handle the rejection:
You're going to dive deep into the well)
You had a name once but it seems that now you've lost it
You had a name but you've forgotten it now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Classic lessons to be learned, just a word of caution
Self-absorption doesn't guarantee respect:
What you'll get you'll earn... eye on the main chance
This is not what you desire or expect
Drowning in the watering-hole...
And don't imagine that you're one of the elect
Pay up your bill: in the Narcissus bar & grill
There's time left to kill, better start to see who you are
Think good or ill of the Narcissus bar & grill
It's all grist to the mill, it's all kissing that scars
Go on and drink up your fill
Do what you will, it won't reveal what you are
Drink up your fill, it's time to pay up your bill
[Outro]
Falling in love with your reflection (Don't fall in love with your reflection)
I guess you've found your blind spot: (No heart could handle the rejection:)
You're going to dive deep into the well (Of getting lost in introspection...)
You had a name once but it seems that you forgot it;
You had a name but it seems that now you've lost it;
You had a name but, baby, you've not got it now
