Death In Disguise Lyrics - Singles - Small Fred

All my life 

Working at the factory 

The pay looked mighty good to me 

When my body was my own 

Doctor won't look me in the eye 

My youngest child asks why 

I won't ever see her grown. 

CHORUS: 

Now I can feel the darkness 

Growing wild inside me 

Catching my soul by surprise 

You know that you've made it 

You got your home, your job, and some good times 

Then they tell you it was death in disguise. 

In the consultation room 

They explain the x-ray slide 

I stop the rising tide 

Of self-pity and cold fear 

Pale in the fluorescent light 

I find no one left to fight 

And remember all my careless years. 

CHORUS 

Half the town works there 

So people fear the truth 

There's no conclusive proof 

There's any danger in those fumes 

The company never saw my face 

They've got another in my place 

Another life to be consumed. 

CHORUS
