I need a full-length mirror to be cool with myself

I need a grand old Steinway all to myself

I need a deep cup of coffee to reflect on myself

I need to rival Alexandria with my bookshelf

I need a porcelain bathtub brimming with foam

I need The Garden of Love on a bed of loam

I need an allegory written on a golden dome

I won't take any less, I won't take any less

I need the Amazon rainforest in my lounge

I need a medicine man just hangin' around

I need palm oil, coffee beans rubber and jam

I need to turn a million pages just to see what I am

I need a spiritual guide as I climb to the top

I need an accurate watch that the gods couldn't stop

I need winds like Nike(‘)s flyin' over the rock

I cried when I saw the Acropolis

I need a portrait in oils at the top of the stairs

I need a room far away from the cold night air

I need a big glass window and a storm out there

I need the library of Alexandria

I need a passionate lover

I need a mathematician

I need a video camera

I need a court musician

I need a full-length mirror

(I need a full-length mirror)

(I need a full-length mirror)

(I need a full-length mirror)

I need a full-length mirror to examine myself

I need it broken in pieces, multiplyin' myself

I need a mystical syllable to say to myself

I need a vanitas hangin' over my bookshelf

I need the Pantheon dancin' on a porcelain plate

I need a team of linguists to interpret my fate

I need an oak tree rustlin' at the garden gate

I want more than a guess, I want more than a guess

(I want more than a guess, I want more than a guess)

(I want more than a guess)
