Just Like Herman Hesse

Graham Parker


I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face 
you saw something else living under my skin the wolf with no thought of disgrace 

I know I know some things you must never confess 
I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot 
just like hermann hesse 

I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin 
I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in 
I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess 
I left my identity back in the theatre 
just like hermann hesse 

You saw my precious mask falling from my face 
I stood naked in front of you the wolf with no thought of disgrace 
I know I know some things you must never confess 

you chose the spirit I chose the flesh 
just like hermann hesse
just like hermann hesse
