[00:00:00] Masks (2005 Digital Remaster) - Van Der Graaf Generator

[00:00:30] Written by：Peter Hammi

[00:01:01] He's a man of the past and one of the present

[00:01:16] A man who hides behind a mask behind a mask

[00:01:30] A clown a fool believing it cool to be down

[00:01:47] Or that the game is all about who laughs the last

[00:02:02] So he tells all his problems to his friends and relations

[00:02:16] Exposes his neuroses to their view

[00:02:30] They accept as fact every masochistic mumble of his act

[00:02:48] But how could they know what was false and what was true

[00:03:06] Sometimes when he wakes

[00:03:08] He feels he's walked into a dream

[00:03:10] But all it takes

[00:03:11] To remind him things are what they seem

[00:03:14] Is the belief that the man behind the mask can really dance

[00:03:20] Pirouetting smile

[00:03:21] He feels himself cavorting

[00:03:24] Pierrot for a while

[00:03:25] Before aborting

[00:03:27] To find relief in the shelter of the dark most telling mask

[00:05:32] After all the pantomimes are ended

[00:05:47] He peels all the make up off his face

[00:06:01] To reveal beneath the tears running all down his cheeks

[00:06:19] Alone he opens to the world but it's much too late

[00:06:30] He's been left in the end without a face
