Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Just Like Hermann Hesse

I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face

You saw something else living under my skin the wolf with no thought of disgrace

I know I know some things you must never confess

I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot

Just like hermann hesse

I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin

I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in

I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess

I left my identity back in the theatre

Just like hermann hesse

You saw my precious mask falling from my face

I stood naked in front of you the wolf with no thought of disgrace

I know I know some things you must never confess

You chose the spirit I chose the flesh

Just like hermann hesse

Just like hermann hesse
