My Heart Now Wears a Mask
To the melody of the Rolling Stones'
~ oldie, "Paint It Black" ~
I see a naked face, please put on a mask
No lipstick anymore, I want it to be masked
I see the girls go by, so frightful in their masks
Only one tear to cry, 'cos males can't multitask...
I see a line of cars, and they're all wearing masks
No drivers grin at me, they're all wearing masks
I see teens turn away, 'cos they're not wearing masks
The cops use pepper spray, they're wearing their gas masks...
I look inside myself, my heart now wears a mask
I have no feelings now, 'cos they have all been masked
My face will fade away, it does not have a task
It's no use anymore, when your whole world is masked...
Di-die-di-die-di-die Di-di-die-die-di-die
Di-die-di-die-di-die Di-di-die-die-di-die... Fadeout...
