Lies in disguise in the name of trust
Hope for a Badman
When I've been bad, I've been wrong
When the light of the world put the world to right
Well there's food for the saints that are quick to judge me
In my head there is a mirror
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust
Faith can move mountains
Look at yourself, See how you lie
Through those hearts as black as night
Sticks and stones may break my bones
When I hear soft whispers at the break of day
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter, No
And they say " Faith can move move mountains
This is the Badman's Song
(I'm in trouble every step of the way)
Try and fit themselves together again
Hand on my heart I will make a stand
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
Lord help me now and bless my soul
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
For the life and the times of the mirrorman
I heard every word that was said that night
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
What's your problem? What's your curse?
Look at yourself, See how you lie
I will shine a blinding light
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
When the stories are tall as the day is long
Well here's to the boys back in 628
But as least the seeds of love will be sown
And though the breeze blows gently while I state my case
Won't it make the matter worse?
Now once in awhile when I feel no shame
Fire can cleanse your soul "
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
In my head
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
