Roger Glover The Mask
It's later on a Wednesday, the sun is going down
I'm standing naked by a swimming pool, there's no one
around
My imagination wanders back, red dust is always there
We lay together in the jungle, and love was in the air
As I dive into the water, both time and motion freeze
I'm hanging there suspended like a feather in the
breeze
Below is your reflection, like an image from the past
But I can't be sure if it's really you, 'cause you're
wearing a tribal mask
Take it off, take off the mask (4X)
There is no way of knowing how long I must remain
Dangling like a statue, and whispering your name
But suddenly it's over, and I begin to fall
But the swimming pool is empty now, no water there at
all
I find myself in a room, empty and it's bare
With nothing but a mirror, and I know you're waiting
there
I'm looking for an answer, but I don't know who to ask
I see my own reflection, but this time, I got the mask
I can't take it, I can't take it (2X)
Take it off, take off the mask (4X)
Ah I can't take it, no
I can't take it, no, no
I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't take it, no, no, no
Take it off, take off the mask (8X)
Oh, whoaoh, Oh, whoa-o-o-o (Repeat to fade)
