The Imposter

---

[music]

# l sawyou meeting

at the newworld order #

#You looked vey modern

with your narrow shoulders #

# You were a vision

of Holy Grace #

#And oh you held

your place #

# Eveybody wants

a soul revival #

# and you handed me

the language #

# and a social title. #

# You are the coco

and the go-go baby #

# and you shook me

all overthe place #

# Yeah, you put

me in my place. #

# l wanted you. #

# l followed you #

# Ended up leaving

eveything l ever knew. #

#You fell for me. #

#You believe me. #

# Please believe me. #

# Please believe me. #

# Stop, you know

l need you. #

# The moment l see that tear

run down yourface, #

# my disgrace is

in your eyes. #

# You know

l need you. #

# The moment l seen you that

tear run down your face, #

# my disgrace is

in your eyes. #

# To stop, you know

l mean to #

# They'll be no faking,

no more of my charades. #

# l know

l'm giving up #

# The imposter

in me. #

# l knowthis

is possible. #

# Oh, the imposter

is me. ##

(male)

Yeah, this is a

Christian stoy,

and l know what

you're thinking,

lefsjust skip to

where our hero hurdles down

the aisle and falls

to his knees,

cries then stands up

a problem-mee man,

men eveyone sits in

a circle holding hands,

singing Kumbaya.

But God's more interested

in our hero going through

a process men apping him

with spirial morphine.

Why does someone wear

a mask or masquerade

as someone they're not?

Because mey're hiding.

l was hiding.

l was an imster.

You guys say good-bye

to the glasses, l say hello.

Hello, hello.

# Go on, go on, sell the Sunday
