COMING IN THE STRANGEST FORM AT MIDNIGHT
THEY COME WALKIN OUT OF NOWHERE
THEY STAND AND GREET ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT
BUT THEY DON’T CARE.I KNOW THEY JUST DON’T CARE

WELL, EVERBODY KNOWS I’M KINDA STRANGE
AND ALWAYS SO OUT OF RANGE
AS ALL ILLUSIONS SEEM TO MELT AWAY
AS I PLAY—THEY DON’T CARE ANYWAY

AND EVERY TIME I TAKE OF THE MASK
YOU KNOW THAT THYE FORGET MY FACE
AND I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO ASK
I KNOW IT’S THE CASE—TAKE OFF THE MASK

EX JUNKIE COMIN BY SAYS HELLO SON
I FEEL I OUGHT TO TURN AND RUN
FROM ALL THE REASONS I DON’T LOOK THAT WAY
I TOLD HIM GET AWAY –YOUCOULD TRAVEL IN YOUR MIND ANY DAY

STAND IN THE CENTER RING IN TIME
I SEE THAT THE MAKING IS ALL MINE
PEEL AWAY THE TIME AND THE PLACE
TAKEOFF THE MASK-THEY FORGET YOUR FACE.

AND EVERY TIME I TAKE OF THE MASK
YOU KNOW THAT THYE FORGET MY FACE
AND I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO ASK
I KNOW IT’S THE CASE—TAKE OFF THE MASK

TAKE OF THE MASK
TAKE OFF THE MASKE
TAKE OFF THE MASK
TAKE OFF THE MASK
TAKE OFF ………….THE MASK
THE MASK. TAKE OFF
VOCALS AD LIB FADE OUT WITH HARMONIES.
