Misguided Sheep - Louis XIV

We keep hiding up all our Easter eggs

For reasons we just can’t say

We’re hiding up all our money

When the tax man comes to prey

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding

All our bits and precious barbs

We‘re hiding all our freckles

Our wrinkles, and dead end jobs

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding

From all our hope and fear

Until hate boils through us

And there’s no one left to care

Well we hide from what we want

So poisonous and soaked in sin

Oh we hide from even our thoughts

Until they come around again

I can’t see

What you don’t let me

(All for love)

I can’t see

What you don’t let me

(All for love)

All come out to play

(All for love)

They all come out to play

(All for love)

We all come out to play

Well we duck and we dodge, we pocket and cover

All our scraps and ticks

Hiding up all our lustful needs so they

Won’t know our kicks

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding

Under blankets inside our bed

We nervously chew up our pencils

Until our teeth are stained of lead

We keep nestling to people like teddy bears

Because the good book said

«Well he who holds to soft things

Won’t die before they’re dead.»

(All for love)

I can’t see

What you don’t let me

(All for love)

I can’t see

What you don’t let me

All come out to play

They all come out to play

I can’t see

What you don’t let me

(All come out to play)(All for love)

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding

From robbers and from cops

Hiding our paranoid fits

Snaps, cracks, and pops

Well we hide from what we want

So naive and drenched in sin

We hide from even our thoughts

Until they come around again

So we nervously chew up our pencils

Until our teeth are stained of lead

And me who holds to soft things

Won’t die before I’m dead
