Master of Disguise Lyrics

If I was a caveman and you gave me fire

I'd wander around here with too much desire

Wondering which face to burn or to save

Well it's all on me now, darling, how to behave

If you were a village and I was the liar

I'd find that wolf quick and I'd hang him by trial

Then after that I would squander the village

Well if no dragon came, it'd be me left to pillage

If you were a candle and I was a match

I'd snuff you out often then I'd burn you up fast

It's all about oxygen, all about living

Well it's all on me now how to use what I'm given

If I novel and you were the ink

I'd open my pages, let you write what you think

And I'd make the most of this beautiful world

But if no one ever read it, I'd feel so unadorned

So I'll try to not tear apart what I'm given

Am I talking to God or just talking to women

If there was an apple in each of our eyes

It'd be so hard to be a master of disguise

If you were my jacket and I played a good show

Could everything after be warm and be slow

The music will come to me, clear up some empathy

Call to me, love from me, hold me and run from me

If you were my guitar and I was the banjo

I'd play a little tune then I'd get up and go

If I could never stop all these circles I live in

Tell me oh Father, would I still be forgiven

So I'll try to not tear apart what I'm given

Am I talking to God or just talking to women

If there was an apple in each of our eyes

It'd be so hard to be a master of disguise

If I was the ocean and you were the seas

If I could give back what's been given to me

If I was the fire and you were the flames

Would I still ask for more, would I still change my name?
