The Blue Mask Lyrics

They tied his arms behind his back to teach him how to swim They put

blood in his coffee and milk in his gin They stood over the soldier in

the midst of the squalor There was war in his body and it caused his

brain to holler

Make the sacrifice

mutilate my face

If you need someone to kill

I'm a man without a will

Wash the razor in the rain

Let me luxuriate in pain

Please don't set me free

Death means a lot to me

The pain was lean and it made him scream he knew he was alive They put a

pin through the nipples on his chest He thought he was a saint

I've made love to my mother, killed my father and my brother What am I

to do

When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car It cannot be controlled

Spit upon his face and scream

There's no Oedipus today

This is no play you're thinking you are in What will you sayReed Lou - The Blue Mask - http://motolyrics.com/reed-lou/the-blue-mask-lyrics.html

Take the blue mask down from my face and look me in the eye I get a

thrill from punishment

I've always been that way

I loathe and despise repentance

You are permanently stained

Your weakness buys indifference

and indiscretion in the streets

Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not You deserve to be

soundly beat

Make the sacrifice

Take it all the way

There's no won't high enough

To stop this desperate day

Don't take death away

Cut the finger at the joint

Cut the stallion at his mount

And stuff it in his mouth
