Like a drag of cigarette awakes
The sleeping alcohol in your veins
The persistence of vision can
Make you nauseous again
Seas of images are boiling
Over your pupil and retina
Try to avoid, the troops are coming
I'm reading your mind
You know you can't hide
You know you can't hide
(Just raise your head and let me see what's inside)
You know you can't hide
It's funny how guilt after sex
Grows a blend of love and hate
If you wonder why I can
Explain how to open the gate
Seas of images are boiling
Over your pupil and retina
Try to avoid, the troops are coming
I'm reading your mind
You know you can't hide
You know you can't hide
(Just raise your head and let me see what's inside)
You know you can't hide
I'm a Hollywood golden age star
That you can't fight the look
You're a birdie in a golden cage
A fish that can't escape the hook
Seas of images are boiling
Over your pupil and retina
You can't look away, the troops are coming
I'm reading you now
You know you can't hide
You know you can't hide
(Just raise your head and let me see what's inside)
