So quit doing this and start doing that
They only wanted what is best
Look bleary-eyed into the distance
A ripped green dress from rolling in the grass
And all those lonely dreams
Odd and even, a goodbye kiss in a handkerchief
Worn over the face, it veils fears we throw far away
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
So I haven't done that and I've been keeping up this
Thank you for asking
The ripped green dress has been mended with
Red thread that's dripping down your chest
And all those lonely dreams turn to ones
Where my friends help me
In a pinch, baby, can you help me?
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
The faded mask
It is gossamer thin
