Lampshade - Kashmir

You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova 
Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star 
Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover 
That is his car 

You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance 
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink. 
To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children 
That's what you think 

But there's no time to think 
Have a pill and a shrink 
Just don't show us how you sweat 
Making love to your kids 
is the last love that you will ever get 

You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew 
But it comes to show 
That the man I know - 

Is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birthday 
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face 
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake 
Now dog is a bird 

But there's no time to think 
Have a pill and a shrink 
Just don't show us how you sweat 
Making love to your kids 
is the last love that you will ever get 

You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew 
But it comes to show 
That the man I know 
has a fading glow 
in a white lampshade 

Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul? 
Did you protect all the horrible? 
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows 
what he's been carrying around 

Tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to hide 
under your stinky old corduroy 
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light 
that I've been choking on always 

There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear 
Sounds like he wants to escape the chain 
He would probably bite me to death if he could 
but the chain lets me spit in his face 

Like the dog has a chain clinging close to it's neck 
This man is tied to his secrecy 
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse 
but inst
