The Man With Many Faces Songtext
von I Am the Manic Whale

He′s got a fourteen foot scarf,
Knows how to ride a giraffe, hear his maniacal laughter.
He knows the things which are true,
Adjusts your angle of view under judicial review.
He's looking above, he′s looking around.
My advice to you: keep your head down,
And if you can get deep underground.

He's the man with many faces, captain of disguise.
He'll set fire to the traces as he births a nest of lies.

He′s not a man you can fool,
He went to graduate school, known as the prince of misrule.
He knows no fear and no pain,
Enormous knowledge domain, it takes too long to explain.
If you strike him down with all of your hate
He comes right back up still looking great.
And if you can see him it′s already too late.


He's the man with many faces, commander of disguise.
He′ll hit the detonator as he looks into your eye.

He travels through space and time,
Using the power of his mind, defending all humankind.
He travels through time and space,
Frequently changing his face, exterminating our race.

He's the man with many faces, each one has a different hat.
He′ll put you in your place 'cause only he knows where it′s at.
The man with many faces, doctor of disguise.
Doesn't seem to care he's universally despised.

All we wanted was a place that we could call our own,
But everywhere we go is infested with life.
Tried to exterminate the vermin that was here before us.
He tried to stop us, but he won′t take us alive.


Keep your helmets on, children. You′ve got to keep your helmets on.
Keep your helmets on, children.
Yes they'll keep you safe from his eyes.
Keep your helmets on, children.
No matter what he says, don′t take them off!
Keep your helmets on, children
