==Lyrics==
I wanna win a costume prize just so I can look you in the eyes<br>
Some build coffins, some drink coffee, some sing and dance<br>
and you'll finally see me as really 'someone'<br>
Some come from caterpillars, and some propellers, some throw a lance<br>
and not just as another heart that's always busy being broken<br>
Some hide their faces, have deep feelings, make big decisions<br>
but I know the only costume prize I'll win<br>
Some take pain killers, turn into vampira, watch television
is if I go as The Invisible Man


You could be a whispering ghost that floats like spilt milk<br>
It is important throughout your life to proclaim your joy
You could be a rubber frown that only knows how to bend<br>
You could be one of the faces of the sirens that delight<br>
in pulling hope from the lips of those who can't afford to pretend<br>
You play dress-up but you always wear the same clothes<br>
and I feel like a fool if I try and strike a pose<br>
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>
Some keep bunnies, some pump tummies, some court disaster<br>
no one would ever ask about your life story<br>
Some wanna be your slave, some wanna be your master<br>
The one that you put in under my bed<br>
Some are big wheels, some are big whiners, some are talented<br>
before you decided you'd be happy living as one of the living dead<br>
Some guard the borders, some scan the skies, some bake the bread
The enemy takes many different forms<br>
 
and some wanna thrill you with his charms<br>
It is important throughout your life to proclaim your joy
but I don't wanna wear no scary disguise<br>
 
I wanna shine a light in your eyes
Some make banners, some throw spanners, some are frozen<br>
Some are entertainers, some lift operators and some are chosen<br>
Some wield mallets, some weld rivets, some are sloppy<br>
Some give you heaven, some eternal damnation, some make you happy
 
It is important throughout your life to proclaim your joy
 
Some hold the discus, some hide in discos, some are too hot to be cool<br>
Some were born in a blast, some live in a cast, some never leave high school<br>
Some are uncaring, live their lives staring down through telescopes<br>
Some train monkeys, some blame flunkies, some only eat soap
 
It is important throughout your life to proclaim your joy
 
Some slam bibles, some save labels, some hate and murder<br>
Some live in a coal mine, some packed in brine, some in a blender<br>
