The Girl Behind The Mask Lyrics - Screaming Trees

Well clouds divide and I see a shape 

Pretty girl through the mind gape 

Running back fast away 

Past the shadows where I stay 

Long, long hair 

Knock, not there 

Wind dissolves the clouds 

But the street light you're the only witness 

The girl behind the mask 

She's the one 

Who never has to ask, yeah 

With magic pouring from her eyes 

There's nothing she can't recognize 

Makes me want to understand 

Makes me feel like melting black 

When you're the last flash 

When time stands still I ask 

Where to fall and I could be calling 

Never been in a dream where she could see 

The girl behind the mask 

She's the one 

Who never has to ask 

She reads through your disguise 

It's too late 

You never realize 

And I never realized 

Up the stairs her picture's waiting 

In the room she might be waiting 

We're baptized still getting blinded in the darkness 

If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest 

And into the thicket, where can I go lord 

The girl behind the mask 

She's the one 

Who never has to ask 

She reads through your disguise 

It's too late 

You never realize 

You never realize 

Then you cry please don't...
