Disguise My baby went away And other friends have their plans It’s more than I can face The situation is out of my hands I’ve got a pocket full of quarters To save me from myself Bob Marley and the pinball machine Will see me though this night and never tell Don’t want to leave this bar alone And go home to an empty bed I could have stayed at home And fought the demons in my head So along the streets I drove Just to occupy my time With all the bartender’s jokes Still can’t get you off of my mind Oh no, still can’t get you off of my mind The lovers in the corners Stared into each other’s eyes I watched their lips as they were forming “I love yous” not “Good-byes” And I couldn’t help but miss you And your crooked little smile So I packed all my things and I I drove what seemed to be A million miles Don’t want to leave this bar alone And go home to an empty bed If I was to have your baby A thousand eyes Staring at me in the dark Looking for a wedding ring To show I was approved by the Lord And oh, wouldn’t it be nice If everyone were blind Except you and me We could disguise our voices And change our names So that they’d think We were the perfect family No matter what happened We’d throw it away So that none of our neighbors would see Through our dark green trash bags Never clear, never to pollute our pedigree And oh, wouldn’t it be nice If everyone were blind Except you and me We could disguise our voices And change our names So that they’d think We were the perfect family No surprise that I’m not married No surprise I’m not the perfect white man And no surprise that the baby I carry Has the same name as me And can do what I can And oh, wouldn’t it be nice If everyone were blind Except you and me We could disguise our voices And change our names So that they’d think We were the perfect family So that they’d think We were the perfect family © 2001 Elinore Speeks 2001 ELAYSHA Elinore Speeks: vocals, acoustic guitar Barb Klc: vocals, keyboard, percussion
