Metal Flake Mind

(album: Kiss This World Goodbye - 1978)

Metal Flake mind, mirror fascination
Silk spun diamond lace, camouflage
Metal Flake mind, mirror fascination
Howdy Doody ego only you can massage

Laser light games seeking gold, and all that glitters
Never stop to think about
Wish you take the time, reconsider
Your slickified style is something we can do without

Why can't you see the light?
Your world is tinsel candy wrapped in fantasy
In time, things could be so right
If only you would stop to find the truth you know to be

High-heel stepper, Hollywood illusion
Hot as fire, cold as ice
Try to survive in this world's confusion
To get what you want, you got to pay the price

Metal Flake mind, mirror fascination
Silk spun diamond lace, camouflage
Metal Flake mind, mirror fascination
Howdy Doody ego only you can massage

Why can't you see the light?
Your world is tinsel candy wrapped in fantasy
In time, things could be so right
If only you would stop to find the truth you know to be

Metal Flake mind, Metal Flake mind
Metal Flake mind (confusion), Metal Flake mind
(Do you know just where you're going?)
Metal Flake mind, Metal Flake mind
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
Metal Flake mind, Metal Flake mind
Metal Flake mind, Metal Flake mind
Metal Flake mind, Metal Flake mind...
