The 13th Floor Elevators
Tried to Hide (Stereo LP Version)
[Verse 1]
You think that you're strong when you're only straining
You think that you have when you're only claiming
When I got near
All I saw was fear

[Chorus]
And I know that you tried to hide
And you cried 'cause you lied about it

[Verse 2]
You knew what you had when you tried to tell it
You thought what you were and you tried to sell it
And when I got near
All I saw was fear

[Chorus]
And I know that you tried to hide
And you cried 'cause you lied about it
Woah, yeah

[Verse 3]
You use the words, but you're only guessing
And you know I saw it was your window dressing
Well, you know the song
But you live it all wrong
[Chorus]
And I know that you tried to hide
And you cried 'cause you lied about it
Woah, yeah

[Outro]
I know you tried to hide
I know you tried to hide
Tried to hide
Tried to hide
Tried to hide
