H.I.M.
"Mask"
------
(Iggy Pop cover)
You're wearing a mask
You look better that way
Are you my friend?
Are you my plumber?
Are you my God?
What do you do?
Wearing a mask
You're wearing a mask
Which mask are you?
Which mask are you?
Complicated, crushed up
Disappointed, squirming
Angry, thrusting, stabbing, regretting
Starving, greedy
Human alien being
Struggling down the street
Up the alley
In the elevator
Through the party
To the office, in the bedroom
On your way to the morgue
Bullshitting, lying
Doing a good deed or feeling loved barely possible
Aware of insatiable demands of not a society all around you
Chunky frat boys in their shorts
Pimps with old semite eyes
Sex hoochies of the jungle
Sensitive smart alec college graduates
Critics fronting frantically in New York City
Everybody in L.A just plain licking ass or having it licked
Irony in place of balls
Balls in place of brains
Brains in place of soul
Where is the soul?
Where is the love?
Where am I?
Which mask are you?
You're wearing a mask
Which mask are you?
