Kashmir - Lampshade lyrics

you'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova not recognizing the molehills on top of the star cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover that is his car you wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink to judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children that's what you think but there's no time to think have a pill and a shrink just don't show us how you sweat making love to your kids is the last love that you will ever get you're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew but it comes to show that the man I know - is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birthday love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake now dog is a bird but there's no time to think have a pill and a shrink just don't show us how you sweat making love to your kids is the last love that you will ever get you're a vanishing image of what i thought I knew but it comes to show that the man I know has a fading glow in a white lampshade tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul did you protect all the horrible I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows what he's been carrying around tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to hide under your stinky old corduroy I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light that I've been choking on always there's a dog barking close within the range of my ear sounds like he wants to escape the chain he would probably bite me to d**h if he could but the chain lets me spit in his face like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it's neck this man is tied to his secrecy I would like to have k**ed him off in this last verse but instead I removed his lampshade
