Cynthia Mask

Lyrics

Napoleon
 Wore a black hat
 Et lots of chicken
 And conquered half Europe
 Napoleon
 Was caught by the British
 Imprisoned on Elba
 He died on the phone
 Chamberlain
 Came crawling from Munich
 With one piece of paper
 He waved at the camera
 Peace in our time
 Oh thank you Herr Hitler
 Tell that to the Polish
 Tell that to the Jews
 You take your babes
 Up to the bathroom
 And then you lead
 Them into the bedroom
 Gnarly babes
 For pleasure and profit
 Correctly applied
 Could bring good results
 Cynthia mask
 You're wearing a Cynthia mask
 Cynthia mask
 You're wearing a Cynthia mask
 You're dressed as yourself
 You walk down the pavement
 You smile like a bowl
 You grin like a melon
 The people that pass
 They think that they know you
 They're too busy thinking
 To see who you are
 I'll reach your lungs
 Like smoke in the orchard
 Scattered in bushes
 The firemen laughing
 I'll rap your hands
 With personal signals
 Don't come to me later
 Come to me now
 Cynthia mask
 You're wearing a Cynthia mask
 Cynthia mask
 Cynthia mask
 I know how she feels
 But can't say a word because
 Nothing is real in here
 Not even her
 Disguise yourself
 As you or another
 A brick or a spider
 In hunger and silence
 The yawning cross
 The hill full of pebbles
 Inside you forever
 Inside you is all
 Cynthia mask
