Masks (2005 Digital Remaster) - Van Der Graaf Generator[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Hammi[00:00:30]
He's a man of the past and one of the present[00:01:01]
A man who hides behind a mask behind a mask[00:01:16]
A clown a fool believing it cool to be down[00:01:30]
Or that the game is all about who laughs the last[00:01:47]
So he tells all his problems to his friends and relations[00:02:02]
Exposes his neuroses to their view[00:02:16]
They accept as fact every masochistic mumble of his act[00:02:30]
But how could they know what was false and what was true[00:02:48]
Sometimes when he wakes[00:03:06]
He feels he's walked into a dream[00:03:08]
But all it takes[00:03:10]
To remind him things are what they seem[00:03:11]
Is the belief that the man behind the mask can really dance[00:03:14]
Pirouetting smile[00:03:20]
He feels himself cavorting[00:03:21]
Pierrot for a while[00:03:24]
Before aborting[00:03:25]
To find relief in the shelter of the dark most telling mask[00:03:27]
After all the pantomimes are ended[00:05:32]
He peels all the make up off his face[00:05:47]
To reveal beneath the tears running all down his cheeks[00:06:01]
Alone he opens to the world but it's much too late[00:06:19]
He's been left in the end without a face[00:06:30]
