"False Face" lyrics

"False Face"

Smiling beguiling
Dejected grace
Haunts the false face

When a saw can sing
To make a hangman swing
When a shark can grin
Make this crocodile cry

Whispered lies
And snide asides
Cover run and hide
Your lying eyes

That trick disguise
It slips and slides
On the other side
Your false face guise
Deceives the pain
To smile again

That familiar ring
Of a chagrin sting
My deadly butterfly
My sobbing crocodile

These expressions leave me cold
And this charade is oh so old
A no feature smear
Of a death skull leer

With a Judas kiss
Cover run and hide
In a catchpenny mist
Your lying eyes
