Supertramp - Hide In Your Shell Lyrics
Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a rideWhat will you gain making your life a little longer?Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?Shelter behind painting your mind and playing jokerToo frightening to listen to a strangerToo beautiful to put your pride in dangerYoure waiting for someone to understand youBut youve got demons in your closetAnd youre screaming out to stop itSaying lifes begun to cheat youFriends are out to beat youGrab on to what you scramble forDont let the tears linger on inside nowCos its sure time you gained controlIf I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me knowWell, let me show you the nearest signpostTo get your heartback and on the roadIf I can help you, if I can help youIf I can help you, just let me know.All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tightWhat do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was loveHow would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?Too frightening- the fires getting colderToo beautiful- to think youre getting olderYoure looking for someone to give an answer.But what you see is just an illusionYoure surrounded by confusionSaying lifes begun to cheat youFriends are out to beat youGrab on to what you can scramble forDont let teh tears...... just let me knowI wanna know...I wanna know you...Well let me know youI wanna feel youI wanna touch youPlease let me near youCan you hear what Im saying?Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayinI know what youre thinkinSee what youre seeinNever ever let yourself goHold yourself down, hold yourself downWhy dya hold yourself down?Why dont you listen, you canTrust me,Theres a place I know the way toA place there is need to feel youFeel that youre aloneHear meI know exactly what youre feelinCos all your troubles are whithin youPlease begin to see that Im just bleeding toLove me, love youLoving is the way toHelp me, help you- why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?Oh, were such damn fools...Songwriter: Roger Hodgsonhttp://www.RogerHodgson.comhttp://www.RogerHodgsonStore.com
