Kris Kristofferson Shandy (the Perfect Disguise) Lyrics

Shandy (the Perfect Disguise) Lyrics

Shandy was somebody's daughter

Drivin' to somethin' insane

They busted her crossin' the border

Swift as a sniff of cocaine



All she could pay was attention

So all they could take was her time

Proving an ounce of possession

Ain't worth a piece of your mind



'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams

Daydreams are somebody's lies

Lies ain't no harder than tellin' the truth

Truth is the perfect disguise



Locked in [Incomprehensible] gold handle bathroom

Martin was changing his mind

Sheddin' his humble pretensions

One careful toke at a time



And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror

Who really was 'Billy the Kid'

Smilin' at somebody dyin'

For somethin' that he never did



'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams

Daydreams are somebody's lies

Lies ain't no harder than tellin' the truth

Truth is the perfect disguise



Soon as he sat down beside her

Shining like Saturday night

Shandy was his for the savin'

Sweet as she looked in the light



And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom

Maybe, just stood there instead

Martin woke up wet and screamin'

Dreamin' of blood on the bed



'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams

Daydreams are somebody's lies

Lies ain't no harder than tellin' the truth

Truth is the perfect disguise
