Pull the wool over your eyes
acts are misunderstood
lies, your intentions won't hide
no matter much how good
Hold back the flood
hold back the crash with the lash of deceit
no one could guess
they save up your mistakes
so they run you down on your knees
What do you want to hear
two, you're still feeling pride
cover your acts up in fear
down the truth save your hide
Hold back the flood

hold back the crash with the lash of deceit
no one could guess
they save up your mistakes
so they run you down on your knees
Defenses broken down
as dreams have realized
an albatross -tross to drag you down to size
Hold back the flood
hold back the crash with the lash of deceit
no one could guess
they save up your mistakes
so they run you down on your knees
run you down on you knees
