Artist: Gentle Giant Album: Artistically Cryme (2003) Title: Peel The Paint / I Lost My Head
Lyrics Peel The Paint / I Lost My Head1. Peel The Paint
Free from the start - Left to depart - Finding the pleasure and the pain in his art. Lost in the hush - No need to rush - Time waits for him, him who creates with the brush. Colour the brush. High in the air - His dreams are there - Searching for answers he will look everywhere. Thinks he has won - A place in the sun Free from the worries and the ways of everyone. Peel the paint Look underneath You'll see the same, the same old savage beast. Strip the coats The coats of time And find mad eyes and see those sharpened teeth. Nothing's been learned - No nothing at all. Don't be fooled, get up before you fall. Carnal grave Crawling smooth Open flesh and you must let him in. Glass reflects What you are It shows the face, the evil face of sin.
2. I Lost My Head
I lost my head, forget what I said, what's the use to try to deny it, I didn't think it would ever happen again, wondering why, once bitten, twice shy, never thought again would I try it, and even though maybe soon it would end, wanting to stop, but had to go on, give a little part of my person, and don't reflect, don't remember what I said, I was afraid and I stayed away making sure of my independence, isn't it true that I lost my head.
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything, showed my face, just forgetting myself, I lost my head.
Everything's true, but everything lies, it's so hard to try to explain it, It doesn't matter it happened anyway, and for the time while someone is mine, I'll go on won't try to contain it, though never sure it could finish anyday, I lost my head, so glad that I made right or wrong, I made the decision to take my chances, give out something of me, how will I feel tomorrow? not real trying to avoid a collision, I lost my head, but today I can see.
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything, showed my face, just forgetting myself, I lost my head. |
