Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
He's raised my face like a pirate's flag

A phantom nation's tattered rag
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid


Somebody used my mouth and laughed out loud
Somebody used my mouth and laughed out loud
Spoke in ways that were strange to you

Whispered things even money won't do
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid


Something startled you late last night
Something startled you late last night
A ghost from my dreams leaning pale

Moved in you, left a vapor trail
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
You say you've changed, but fear you won't

I say I've changed and prove I don't

Somebody made my heart a silver spoon

Somebody made my heart a silver spoon
That eats away at love and pride
Like hunger down a mountainside

Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
Nobody knows the man that I keep hid
