With LKJ, it's a lot of work to decipher the lyrics.
Here's the best
I can make out so far.
Once upon a time just like in a nursery rhyme before piggy turn swine me did wear for my fear on my face like a shield like a mask an everybody think me cool and deadly
Nothing you could have said would have make me take it off and if you get me nervous
I woulda just laughed it off an everybody think me cool and deadly
But not so long ago just like in a picture show where the hero gets a blow me spirit gets vexed an me get so restless that me get careless and go bare me mawgah(?) chest
Me never even think that things are make outta glass that the whole wide world coulda see right down to the feeling in my heart how them twist-up how them tie-up how them tight-up oh my heart how it cut-up how it craw-up how it scar-up
It's a hard act to master you know this smiling and skining your teeth when your heart swell up so till you feel it gonna bust when you can't find the rhyme to fit the beat when you can't find the answer for the puzzle complete.
So (?) me take off me mask and start for wear dark glass but every so often me have to take it off and every now and then me find me last onnu(?) ever see me trial see me crosses?
