I don't know who works for me
I don't care who admires me
I don't want to inspire you
So long as you can't see me

Behind the shades
The real world fades

Assuming precious things
You believe I'm so precious
Taking the precious
Thing in my life of industry

Behind the shades
The real world fades

In the shell I'll multiply
Spoilt and sickly power
I'm terrified that I might die
Before I take your world

You told them that I'm lonely
My life a tragedy
You know I've got to fade
Behind the shades

Keep me well protected
Don't let me get infected
Don't let me hear the one who says

I don't know who employs me
There's no one who admires me
I don't care whose empire it is
I know that I can't see him

Behind the shades
And he'll never see me
Or give a damn who I am
Because he's one in a million

And with a million
Queer familiars
He's got millions
Behind the shades

And he'll never see me
Or give a damn who i am
Becsause he's one in a million
And with a million

We're familiar
He's got millions
Behind the shades
Behind the shades
The real world fades

In the shell I'll multiply
Spoilt and sickly there
I'm terrified by the time I'll die
Before I take your world

You tell that that I'm lonely
My life a tragedy
You know I've got it made
Behind the shades
