Kris Kristofferson Shandy (the Perfect Disguise)
Shandy was somebody's daughter Driving to something insane They busted her crossing the border Quick as a sniff of cocaine All she could pay was attention So all they could take was her time Proving an ounce of possession Ain't worth a piece of your mind. Chorus: 'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams Daydreams are somebody's lies. Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth. Truth is the perfect disguise Locked in the goldhandle bathroom Martin was changing his mind Shedding his humble pretensions One careful toke at a time And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror Who really was Billy the Kid Smiling at somebody dying For something that he never did Chorus: 'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams Daydreams are somebody's lies. Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth. Truth is the perfect disguise As soon as he sat down beside her Shining like Saturday night Shandy was his for the saving Sweet as she looked in the light And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom Maybe just stood there instead Martin woke up wet and screaming Dreaming of blood on the bed. Chorus: 'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams Daydreams are somebody's lies. Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth. Truth is the perfect disguise
