Lyrics for Song: Shandy (The Perfect Disguise)
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2009]
(Kris Kristofferson)
Shandy was somebody's daughter
Drivin' to something insane
They busted her crossin' the border
Swift as a sniff of cocaine.
All she could pay was attention
So all they could take was her time
Proving an ounce of possession
Ain't worth a piece of your mind.
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
Daydreams are somebody's lies
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
Truth is the perfect disguise.
Locked in the gold-handled bathroom
Martin was changing his mind
Shedding his humble pretensions
One careful toke at a time.
And wiping the mask off a man in the mirror
Who really was Billy the Kid
Smiling at somebody dying
For something that he never did.
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
Daydreams are somebody's lies
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
Truth is the perfect disguise.
Soon as he sat down beside her
Dhining like Saturday night
Shandy was his for the saving
Sweet as she looked in the light.
And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom
Maybe just stood there instead
Martin woke up wet and screaming
Dreaming of blood on the bed.
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams
Daydreams are somebody's lies
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth
Truth is the perfect disguise...
