Текст песни Peel the Paint/I Lost My Head - Live in Sweden - Gentle Giant

I peel the paint
Look underneath
You'll see the same,
The same old savage beast
Strip the coats
The coats of time
And find mad eyes and
See those sharpened teeth
Nothings been learned -
No nothing at all.
Don't be fooled,
Get up before you fall.
A carnal grave
(Uh) crawling smooth
The open flesh
And you must let them in
The glass reflects
Of what you are
It shows the face
The evil face of sin.
Nothings been learned -
No nothing at all
Don't be fooled,
Get up before you fall.
I lost my head
Forget what I said
What's the use to try to deny it.
I didn't think it
Would ever happen again
Wondering why,
Once bitten twice shy
Never thought again would I try it
And even though may-
Be soon it would end
Wanting to stop
But had to go on,
Give a little part of my person,
And don't reflect
Don't remember what I said
I was afraid
And I stayed away
Making sure of my independence
Isn't it true that
I lost my head
Took my time
And I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face
Just forgetting myself oh everything
Everythings true
But everything lies
It's so hard to try to explain it
It doesn't matter
It happened anyway.
And for the time
While someone is mine
I'll go on won't try to contain it
And even though
It could finish any day
I lost my head
So glad that I made
Right or wrong, I made the decision
To take my chances
Give out something of me
How will I feel
Tomorrow? not real
Trying to avoid a collision
I lost my head,
But today I can see.
Took my time
And I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face
Just forgetting myself oh everything
I lost my head
I lost my head
Forget what I said
What's the use to try to deny it
I didn't think it
Would ever happen again
Wondering why
Once bitten twice shy
Never thought again would I try it
And even though may-
Be soon it would end.
