《Masks(John Peel Session / 1976)》歌词

[00:00:00] Masks (John Peel Session / 1976) - Van Der Graaf Generator

[00:01:08] He's a man of the past

[00:01:15] And one of the present

[00:01:23] A man who hides behind a mask behind a mask

[00:01:39] A clown a fool

[00:01:47] Believing it cool to be down

[00:01:58] Or that the game is

[00:02:03] All about who laughs the last

[00:02:15] So he tells all his problems

[00:02:23] To his friends and relations

[00:02:30] Exposes his neuroses to their view

[00:02:45] Theye accept as fact

[00:02:53] Every masochistic mumble of his act

[00:03:05] How could they know what was false and what was true

[00:03:24] Sometimes when he wakes

[00:03:26] He feels he's walked into a dream

[00:03:28] But all it takes

[00:03:29] To remind him things are what they seem

[00:03:32] Is the belief

[00:03:33] That the man behind the mask can really dance

[00:03:38] Pirouetting smile

[00:03:40] He sees himself cavorting

[00:03:42] Pierrot for awhile

[00:03:43] Before aborting

[00:03:45] To find relief

[00:03:47] In the shelter of the dark most telling mask

[00:05:56] After all the pantomimes are ended

[00:06:12] He peels all the make up off his face

[00:06:27] To reveal beneath

[00:06:34] The tears running all down his cheeks

[00:06:46] Alone he opens to the world

[00:06:53] But it's much too late

[00:06:57] He's been left in the end

[00:07:05] Without a face
