The Cover Up
Got a lot of things I know you do
Got a lot of money and time to kill
In your mansion up on that hill
That's what everyone dreams of right
Name one person who's still got their mind
Who'd trade happiness for unreal things
It must be lonely up there
The mask you wear
It must lonely up there
The mask you wear
And that pretty girl arm
Can't hardly see from all the shine coming off
The cover up so we cannot see in
Buy a real love to call your own
Put her on a mantle and show her off
Looking real good next to your acknowledgements
Gonna be saying
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do this again
Wait Wait
Let me do it again
Wait
Do it again and fix it this time
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do it again
When I'm knock knocking on heavens door
Wait
I won't do it again
I'll fix it this time
I'll learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
I'll learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
Won't do it again
Got a lot of time I know you do
Your time ain't no different than all those you knew
Before you locked yourself in your swelling head
When you're getting old and looking back
Regretting your life and fighting your past
Hit him with a left
Hit him with a right
He's out for the count count
It must be lonely up there
The mask you wear
It must be lonely up there
The mask you wear
Gonna be saying
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do it again
Wait Wait
Let me do this again
Wait
I'll do it again and fix it this time
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do it again
When I'm knock knocking on heavens door
Wait
I won't do it again
I'll fix it this time
I'll learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to be true
You're not on your own
If I had me a little money
I might go get me a house out in the woods
Raise me a couple of kids
And forget about all this
Don't need no money
To get it right
Don't need no fancy car no
To get it right
You don't need no diamond ring girl
To get it right
All you need is love
Don't need no fancy car no
To get it right
No mansion on the hillside
To get it right
Don't need nothing no
To get it right
All we need is love
Got a lot of money and time to kill
In your mansion up on that hill
That's what everyone dreams of right
Name one person who's still got their mind
Who'd trade happiness for unreal things
It must be lonely up there
The mask you wear
It must lonely up there
The mask you wear
And that pretty girl arm
Can't hardly see from all the shine coming off
The cover up so we cannot see in
Buy a real love to call your own
Put her on a mantle and show her off
Looking real good next to your acknowledgements
Gonna be saying
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do this again
Wait Wait
Let me do it again
Wait
Do it again and fix it this time
Wait Wait Wait
Let me do it again
When I'm knock knocking on heavens door
Wait
I won't do it again
I'll fix it this time
I'll learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
I'll learn to love
Learn to love
Learn to love
Won't do it again
Got a lot of time I know you do
Your time ain't no different than all those you knew

Don't need nothing no
To get it right
All we need is love
