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 hid Somebody 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 hid Something startled you late last night Something startled you late last night A ghost from my dream leaning paon Moving 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't Somebody made my heart a silver spoon Somebody made my heart a silver spoon That eats away at love and pride Like hunger down a mountainside Nobody knows the man that I keep hid Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
