button your lip
don't let the shield slip
take a fresh grip on your
bullet proof mask
and if they try
to break down your disguise
with their questions
you can hide hide hide
behind paranoid eyes
you put on your brave face
and slip over
the road for a jar
fixing your grin as
you casually lean on the bar
laughing too loud
at the rest of the world
with the boys in the crowd
you hide hide hide
behind petrified eyes
you believed in their stories
of fame fortune and glory
now you're lost in a haze
of alchohol soft middle age
the pie in the sky turned
out to be miles too high
and you hide hide hide
behind brown and mild eyes
