I was so high, I stood for an hour outside the Christian Science Reading Room<br>
I wanna win a costume prize just so I can look you in the eyes<br>
and suddenly I could not resist and I became a Christian Scientist<br>
and you'll finally see me as really 'someone'<br>
and I studied light and I studied sound<br>
and not just as another heart that's always busy being broken<br>
and every question that I asked was suddenly profound<br>
but I know the only costume prize I'll win<br>
The holy martyrs of gravity - the absolute measure of being free
is if I go as The Invisible Man


I was so high that I even scared the cat<br>
You could be a whispering ghost that floats like spilt milk<br>
and using the language of his tail,<br>
You could be a rubber frown that only knows how to bend<br>
he said he had a vision - a thousand white flags flying over my hat<br>
You could be one of the faces of the sirens that delight<br>
and then he hid under the bed - and his eyes were big as bells<br>
in pulling hope from the lips of those who can't afford to pretend<br>
and suddenly he could not resist and he became a Christian Scientist<br>
You play dress-up but you always wear the same clothes<br>
and together we explored our world<br>
and I feel like a fool if I try and strike a pose<br>
and found it became more beautiful as it unfurled
and I already have a brilliant disguise -<br>
I wanna shine a light in your eyes
 
You spent so much time trying to find a mask so ugly that<br>
no one would ever ask about your life story<br>
The one that you put in under my bed<br>
before you decided you'd be happy living as one of the living dead<br>
The enemy takes many different forms<br>
and some wanna thrill you with his charms<br>
but I don't wanna wear no scary disguise<br>
I wanna shine a light in your eyes
