Roger Hodgson - Hide in Your Shell lyrics

Hide in your shell 'Cause 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, you're 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 (You've got demons in your closet) And you're screaming out to stop it (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 'Cause 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 any older You're waiting for someone to bring an answer What you see is just illusion (What you see is just illusion) You're surrounded by confusion (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 Because 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 'Cause I want to know, mmm I wanna know I wanna know, I wanna know I wanna know, I wanna know Won't you, won't you let me know you Mmm, won't you let me know you I wanna know you, mmm I wanna feel you Oh, I wanna touch you Please let me near you Oh let me near you Can you hear, what I'm singing? Well I'm hoping, 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 don't you hold yourself down? Why don't you listen? You can trust me (So what, you're gonna take it to?) A little place, I know the way to (So what, you're gonna make it do?) A place there is no need to (So what's he gonna...) To feel you (So what's he gonna..) To feel that you're all alone (So what's he gonna do?) Can you hear me? (So what, you're gonna take it to?) I know exactly what you're feelin' (So what, you're gonna make it do?) All your troubles are within you (So what's he gonna...) So begin to (So what's he gonna...) See that I'm just bleeding to (So what's he gonna do?) Oh love me, love you (So what, you're gonna take it to?) Lovin is the way to help me, help you (So what, you're gonna make it do?) Why must we be so cool (So what's he gonna...) Oh so cool? (So what's he gonna...) Oh, we're such damn fools (So what's he gonna do?) I said we're such damn fools (So what, you're gonna take it to?) (So what, you're gonna make it do?) (So what's he gonna...) (So what's he gonna...) (So what's he gonna do?) I said we're such damn fools
