Supertramp - Hide in your shell - live at pavillon de paris/1979 lyrics

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 you 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 You're waiting for someone to understand you But you've got demons in your closet And you're screaming out to stop it Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Don't let the tears linger on inside now Cos it's 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 heart back 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 lie 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 fire's becoming colder Too Beautiful – to think you're getting older You're looking for someone to give an answer But what you see is just illusion You're surrounded by confusion Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Don't let the tears linger on inside now Cos it's 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 heart back and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, 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 I'm sayin'? Well I'm hopin', I'm dreamin', I'm prayin' I know what you're thinkin' See what you're seein' Never ever let yourself go Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why d'ya hold yourself down? Why don't you listen, you can Trust me There's a place I know the way to A place there is no need to feel you Feel that you're alone Hear me I know exactly what you're feelin' Cos all your troubles are within you Please begin to see that I'm 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, we're such damn fools...
