(Verse 1) I stepped into the bathroom of the old drive-in The air was freezing cold against my sweating skin I looked at the glass to fix my greasy hair But the reflection staring back wasn't standing there It was a phantom rebel from the year fifty-four (Chorus) Oh, there’s a shadow in the mirror and it’s calling my name A gothic rockabilly horror playing a dangerous game The guitar is screaming with a heavy tape hiss Pulling my soul to a dark, eternal abyss Oh baby, don't look into the glass tonight (Verse 2) The phantom smiled wide and he reached right out Through the silver glass frame with a wicked shout He wore a leather jacket just identical to mine But his eyes were burning like a neon sign And his footsteps didn't make a single sound (Chorus) Oh, there’s a shadow in the mirror and it’s calling my name A gothic rockabilly horror playing a dangerous game The guitar is screaming with a heavy tape hiss Pulling my soul to a dark, eternal abyss Oh baby, don't look into the glass tonight (Verse 3) You walked through the door and you screamed out loud As the bathroom filled with a silver cloud The mirror started cracking like a spider’s web While the rockabilly rhythm started hitting my head And the lights flickered low till the room went black (Chorus) Oh, there’s a shadow in the mirror and it’s calling my name A gothic rockabilly horror playing a dangerous game The guitar is screaming with a heavy tape hiss Pulling my soul to a dark, eternal abyss Oh baby, don't look into the glass tonight (Verse 4) I felt a cold pull as my hands went through Swapping my life for a phantom hue Now I’m the one trapped on the inside track Looking at a world that is never coming back While the stranger takes my Chevy and drives away (Chorus) Oh, there’s a shadow in the mirror and it’s calling my name A gothic rockabilly horror playing a dangerous game The guitar is screaming with a heavy tape hiss Pulling my soul to a dark, eternal abyss Oh baby, don't look into the glass tonight (Verse 5) So if you go down to the old movie screen And you look in the glass for a retro scene Just look for the boy with the hollowed-out eyes Trapped in the silver where the music dies An eternal teenager on a vinyl plate (Chorus) Oh, there’s a shadow in the mirror and it’s calling my name A gothic rockabilly horror playing a dangerous game The guitar is screaming with a heavy tape hiss Pulling my soul to a dark, eternal abyss Oh baby, don't look into the glass tonight
