Hide in your shell

 

 

Supertramp

 

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride

What will you gain making your life a little longer?

Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?

Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

 

Too frightening to listen to a stranger

Too beautiful to put your pride in danger

Youre waiting for someone to understand you

But youve got demons in your closet

And youre screaming out to stop it

Saying lifes begun to cheat you

Friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you scramble for

 

Dont let the tears linger on inside now

Cos its sure time you gained control

If I can help you, if I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost

To get your heartback and on the road

If I can help you, if I can help you

If I can help you, just let me know.

 

All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight

What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?

I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love

How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

 

Too frightening- the fires getting colder

Too beautiful- to think youre getting older

Youre looking for someone to give an answer.

But what you see is just an illusion

Youre surrounded by confusion

Saying lifes begun to cheat you

Friends are out to beat you

Grab on to what you can scramble for

 

Dont let teh tears...

... just let me know

I wanna know...

I wanna know you...

Well let me know you

I wanna feel you

I wanna touch you

Please let me near you

Can you hear what Im saying?

Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayin

I know what youre thinkin

See what youre seein

Never ever let yourself go

 

Hold yourself down, hold yourself down

Why dya hold yourself down?

Why dont you listen, you can

Trust me,

Theres a place I know the way to

A place there is need to feel you

Feel that youre alone

Hear me

I know exactly what youre feelin

Cos all your troubles are whithin you

Please begin to see that Im just bleeding to

Love me, love you

Loving is the way to

Help me, help you

- why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?

Oh, were such damn fools...
