Can't afford to lose my head
Can't afford to lose my cool
You'll blow them all in kingdom come
Can't afford to lose my tease
I just aim to please

Feel like a no-tell motel painting out of place or ignored
It's all medals and trophy's, trophy's and medal
And all before the race has been run

Oh
Take off your mask now baby, too much to ask?

Autobiographical anonymous
A cotillion of friction on my jurisdiction
It's a lovely disguise with the wandering eyes
I get high, now you've got something to look up to

Trouble's a mangy stray dog, Play with it once, then it follows you home
It's all "have nots, have nones
Hey, can I have some's?"
Until I've had enough, yet I've had none

Oh
Take off your mask, lose it into the trash
Go on
And give it a try
Or kiss
Your ass goodbye.

Suddenly it gets easy, the sun goes down.
The long arm of important things disappears in her gown
You finally drop ehe knife, forget you ever 
It's such a good night, ain't forever
It feels so good to give up, give in her arms

I know it hurts
It hurts to be young
Metamorphosis is pain, I know
I said it hurts to be young
Gotta learn every goddamn thing

You gotta hack your way through
And realize it's almost entirely lies
But then you'll begin to smile
Smile for me, real
Wide
Then you accept what you are
The transforming is done
You've become, absorbed into and you know
I think I know what to do
