Pretty girl through the mind gape
Running back fast away
Past the shadows where I stay
Long, long hair
Knock, not there
Wind dissolves the clouds
But the street light you're the only witness
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask, yeah
With magic pouring from her eyes
There's nothing she can't recognize
Makes me want to understand
Makes me feel like melting black
When you're the last flash
When time stands still I ask
Where to fall and I could be calling
Never been in a dream where she could see
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask
She reads through your disguise
It's too late
You never realize
And I never realized
Up the stairs her picture's waiting
In the room she might be waiting
We're baptized still getting blinded in the darkness
If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest
And into the thicket, where can I go lord
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask
She reads through your disguise
It's too late
You never realize
You never realize
Then you cry please don't...
Well clouds divide and I see a shape Pretty girl through the mind gape Running back fast away Past the shadows where I stay Long, long hair Knock, not there Wind dissolves the clouds But the street light you're the only witness The girl behind the mask She's the one Who never has to ask, yeah With magic pouring from her eyes There's nothing she can't recognize Makes me want to understand Makes me feel like melting black When you're the last flash When time stands still I ask Where to fall and I could be calling Never been in a dream where she could see The girl behind the mask She's the one Who never has to ask She reads through your disguise It's too late You never realize And I never realized Up the stairs her picture's waiting In the room she might be waiting We're baptized still getting blinded in the darkness If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest And into the thicket, where can I go lord The girl behind the mask She's the one Who never has to ask She reads through your disguise It's too late You never realize You never realize Then you cry please don't...
