am i supposed to close my eyes as you walk away from me
am i supposed to blind myself so i'll never have to see
you walking side by side with a different kind of man
who'll redefine your body in ways i know i...
what if i don't want to go now
will you come and put these eyes out for me...
so don't go and blame your mother for what's your father's fault
or all of your daughters will turn out just like you
bent on destruction and burning through their beauty
and looking beyond their years by the time they're only (twenty)...
and what if i don't want to go now
will you come put these eyes out for me...
oh c'est la vie please don't go and abandon me
when the bridge burns down and the bad blood tastes like wine on the wind
and they c'est beware of the man in shades
beware beware of the man in shades beware
i stutter step my way across desert lakes to try and sweat the ghost of the past and lay my anchor at last at your feet
as they c'est beware of the man in shades
beware beware of the man in shades beware i am the man in shades
yes i am i am the man in shades
yes i am i am the man in shades
yes i am i am the man in shades
yes i am
