Girl Behind The Mask

Screaming Trees

Well clouds divide and I see a shape

Pretty girl through the mind gape

Running back fast away

Past the shadows where I stay

Long, long hair

Knock, not there

Wind dissolves the clouds

But the street light you're the only witness



The girl behind the mask

She's the one

Who never has to ask, yeah



With magic pouring from her eyes

There's nothing she can't recognize

Makes me want to understand

Makes me feel like melting black

When you're the last flash

When time stands still I ask

Where to fall and I could be calling

Never been in a dream where she could see



The girl behind the mask

She's the one

Who never has to ask

She reads through your disguise

It's too late

You never realize

And I never realized



Up the stairs her picture's waiting

In the room she might be waiting

We're baptized still getting blinded in the darkness

If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest

And into the thicket, where can I go Lord



The girl behind the mask

She's the one

Who never has to ask

She reads through your disguise

It's too late

You never realize

You never realize

Then you cry please don't...
