Behind the Curtain Songtext
von Larry and His Flask

There is a reason that I always turn my face away
Every time I realize you′re looking my way
It takes everything inside of me not to make it known
Not to let it out, not to let it show

Like a bottle of cheap champagne
Shake it up and make it rain

Hidden behind the curtain suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I′m nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark

Through waves of flowing crimson I can just see your face
Another standing ovation, a stellar showcase
From the bottom of my heart, something bright starts to glow
But I find the wick and douse it quick and push it down below


Like an alter-boy gone bad
Snuffing all the candles while slowly going mad

Hidden behind the curtain suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I′m nothin′ but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark

If only I could speak your name
Then maybe we could fit inside the frame
And live forever untouched
Beneath the glass and the dust

Hidden behind the curtain, suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you'll take me for what I am?
I′m nothin' but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark


Hidden behind the curtain, suspended from above
I hide in darkness with my love
How can I be certain you′ll take me for what I am?
I'm nothin′ but a phantom, I am a shadow held for ransom in the dark
