Blackie The Rodeo Kings Faces Lyrics

Faces Lyrics

She never thinks about me when I'm here 



She only dreams about me when I'm gone 



My heart rises to my mouth as she passes 



by me 



and I can't make a sound 







She gives me a mirror in a picture frame 



She says don't be afraid to blame your blues 



on the man you see inside 



He's trying desperately to hide 







I know she's right 



and I can't fight the feelings 



That the man inside's not ready for revealing 



I walked beside him on a stage 



Watched him trying to make believe 



He's read the pages of wisdom 







Now everyone has a needle 



Which we turn to in times of escape 



Injecting our realities with some fantasy 



makes it all easier to take 



Some people say that it sets them free 



But me I found that it seldom lets you see 



That the path your foot falls on 



Doesn't make a sound 







I know I'm right and 



I can't fight the feelings 



that the hearts of men aren't ready for 



revealing 



I walked beside them in the rain 



Watched their distant and their mortal pain 



and it's all a shame 







She never thinks about me when I'm here 



She only dreams about me when I'm gone 



My heart rises to my mouth as she passes 



by me 



and I can't make a sound
