Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
He's raised my face like a pirate's flag
Of any nations tattered rag
Nobody knows the man that I keep hidSomebody used my mouth and laughed out loud
Somebody used my mouth and laughed out loud
Spoken ways that were strange to you
Whispered things that even money won't do
Nobody knows the man that I keep hidSomething startled you late last night
Something startled you late last night
A ghost from my dream leaning paonMoving you left a vapor trail
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
You say you've changed but still you won't
I say I've changed and prove I don'tSomebody made my heart a silver spoon
Somebody made my heart a silver spoon
That eats away at love and pride
Like hunger down a mountainsideNobody knows the man that I keep hid
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
