Wonderful Disguise - Mike Scott

Through the curtains the daylight crept

I looked at my lover as she slept

And as I watched her face I wept…

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

As I was driving into town

The guy in the next car turned around

And as I met his gaze I found

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

Outside the museum I was addressed

By a blind man in his pants and vest

I was most impressed

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

Fat woman, standing in a queue

Her hat, shoes, coat and gloves were blue

And when she turned around I knew

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

I came home and halfway up the stair

A drunk was tearing out his hair

You should have heard him scream and swear

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

The President was on the News at Ten

Looking like he could use a friend

And then I looked again

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise

Stood in front of the mirror all alone

Examined my features skin and bone

Looked at this face I’ve always known

It was a wonderful disguise

It was a wonderful disguise
