  • I?m a master of disguise,
    Mystery in your eyes,
    Travelling the backroads of your country.
    Well, you think you?ve got my number
    And then again, you wonder
    Will you ever get to find the real me.

    Things are not always
    As they first may seem
    It?s like living in a dream.

    So you?d like me to reveal
    All that I know and feel
    At the risk of causing panic and destruction.
    Well, there?s a method to this madness.
    I don?t mean to cause you sadness
    My course is strictly governed by instruction.

    Things are not always
    As they first may seem
    It?s like living in a dream.

    I?m a master of disguise
    Not about to compromise
    My position in this scheme of worldly values.
    Ah, they?re calling out my name.
    I?ve promised to remain
    Ever faithful to the memory of what is true.

    Things are not always
    As they first may seem
    It?s like living in a dream.

    Oh, I?m living in a dream,
    I?m high, I?m high.
    In the cold, cold night, I?m high.
