Lyrics
[Peel the Paint] [Verse 1: Derek Shulman] I peel the paint, look underneath You'll see the same, the same old savage beast Strip the coats, the coats of time And find mad eyes and see those sharpened teeth Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all Don't be fooled, get up before you fall [Verse 2: Derek Shulman] A carnal grave, a crawling smooth Open flesh and you must let him in Glass reflects of what you are It shows the face, the evil face of sin Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all Don't be fooled, get up before you fall [I Lost My Head] [Instrumental Intro 1:31–2:49] [Verse 3: Derek Shulman] I lost my head, forget what I said What's the use to try to deny it I didn't think it would ever happen again Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy Never thought again would I try it And even though maybe soon it would end [Verse 4: Derek Shulman] Wanting to stop but had to go on Give a little part of my person And don't reflect, don't remember what I said I was afraid and I stayed away Making sure of my independence Isn't it true that I lost my head? [Chorus: Derek Shulman] Took my time and I didn't rush into anything Showed my face, just forgetting myself, oh everything [Verse 5: Derek Shulman] Everything's true, but everything lies It's so hard to try to explain it It doesn't matter, it happened anyway And for the time while someone is mine I'll go on won't try to contain it And even though it could finish any day [Verse 6: Derek Shulman] I lost my head, so glad that I made Right or wrong, I made the decision To take my chances, give out something of me How will I feel, tomorrow not real Trying to avoid a collision I lost my head, but today I can see [Chorus: Derek Shulman] Took my time and I didn't rush into anything Showed my face, just forgetting myself, oh everything I lost my head [Verse 3: Derek Shulman] I lost my head, forget what I said What's the use to try to deny it I didn't think it would ever happen again Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy Never thought again would I try it And even though maybe soon it would end [Instrumental Outro 5:46–6:56]
