Hide
in your shell
cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain... making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell,
was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind
painting your mind
and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But youve got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for
Dont let the tears linger on inside now
Cos its sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me know.
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need??
a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I... as a boy,
I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be
if you could see
the world through my eyes?
Too frightening- the fires getting colder
Too beautiful- to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying lifes begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for...
Hide in your shell...supertramp
