Brilliant Disguise
A cry from the old part of town
You smile when there's no one around
You try hard to hide all the pain
But your tears they keep falling like rain
And you feel so out of time
And you seem so out of place
Like the love you left behind
On some better day
In some better way
I'm coatless and terribly pale
When silver is turning to grey
An angel came down from the skies
But it was you in your brilliant disguise
But I feel so out of time
And I seem so out of place
Like the love we left behind
We just sit around and wait
For some better days
In some better way
Oh you silly girl, don't you know what life is about?
We've been this way before, they chew you up and spit you right out
Oh you silly girl, don't you know what life is about?
You smile when there's no one around
You try hard to hide all the pain
But your tears they keep falling like rain
And you feel so out of time
And you seem so out of place
Like the love you left behind
On some better day
In some better way
I'm coatless and terribly pale
When silver is turning to grey
An angel came down from the skies
But it was you in your brilliant disguise
But I feel so out of time
And I seem so out of place
Like the love we left behind
We just sit around and wait
For some better days
In some better way
Oh you silly girl, don't you know what life is about?
We've been this way before, they chew you up and spit you right out
Oh you silly girl, don't you know what life is about?
