Robyn Hitchcock - Cynthia Mask lyrics

napoleon wore a black hat ate lots of chicken and conquered half europe napoleon was caught by the british imprisoned on elba he died on the phone chamberlain came crawling from munich with one piece of paper he waved at the camera peace in our time oh thank you herr hitler tell that to the polish tell that to the j**s you take your babes up to the bathroom and then you lead them into the bedroom gnarly babes for pleasure and profit correctly applied could bring good results cynthia mask you're wearing a cynthia mask cynthia mask you're wearing a cynthia mask you're dressed as yourself you walk down the pavement you smile like a bowl you grin like a melon the people that pa** they think that they know you they're too busy thinking to see who you are i'll reach your lungs like smoke in the orchard scattered in bushes the firemen laughing i'll rap your hands with personal signals don't come to me later come to me now cynthia mask you're wearing a cynthia mask cynthia mask cynthia mask i know how she feels but can't say a word because nothing is real in here not even her disguise yourself as you or another a brick or a spider in hunger and silence the yawning cross the hill full of pebbles inside you forever inside you is all cynthia mask
