BLACK HORSES

Walking and talking and smiling around
wiping and tiping and money to count
I am a cog in the wheel.

Bowing and scraping and licking one's ass
blushing and hushing and gulping one's sass
I'm biting all my fingernails
while life goes by and time crawls like a snail.

Nobody knows the black holes in my soul.
Nobody knows my most secret goal.
My mask is fitting perfectly.

Nobody sees all the scorn in my eyes.
Nobody notices all my lies.
My smile is cheating ev'ryone.

But soon sometime
some unexpected crime
will end that perfect pantomime.

They will regret
the things they did and said.
And all their gold will change to lead

Nobody knows the black holes in my soul.
Nobody knows my most secret goal..
My mask is fitting perfectly.

Nobody sees all the scorn in my eyes.
Nobody notices all my lies.
My smile is cheating ev'ryone.

But soon sometime
some unexpected crime
will end that perfect pantomime.

They will regret
the things they did and said.
And all their gold will change to lead

Nobody knows that I'm pulling the strings
Nobody knows that I wait in the wings.
Nobody knows that I am what I am.

Nobody knows that I'm playing the tricks
Nobody knows that I'm having my kicks.
Nobody knows that I can what I can.

Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside.
Nobody knows all the tears I hide
and nobody knows the black horses I ride.

Walking and talking and smiling around
wiping and tiping and money to count
I am a cog in the wheel.
I am a cog in the wheel.
I am a cog in the wheel
