Mask - Daniel Johnston

Seems like her broken heart

The loving part was missing

As the drama unfolds

She’s lost the art of loving

Nowhere is where she goes

To find her piece of nothing

Seems like she’s had enough

But she’s always up to something

And now as the story goes

Another day is dying

She’s already changed her clothes

And in disgrace she’s laughing

It wasn’t so long ago

She had me so temptated

And with no obligation

I was feeling so sedated

Now I’m left pretty dumb

And every bit retarded

Now the fires that burn are more than what she started

And now as the story goes

Another day is dying

She’s already changed her clothes

And in disgrace she’s laughing

Is it just a show of shows

Is that all she’s thinking

And maybe I told her so

I’m thankful that I’m living

Another day in the past

And every hour I’m haunting

Everybody is wearing a mask

Playing Skip to the Lou, my darling

And now as the story goes

Another day is dying

She’s already changed her clothes

And in disgrace she’s laughing
