The Microphones - There's No Invincible Disguise That Lasts All Day lyrics

What? So I can sing a love poetic And in my songs I can claim a voice prophetic And then somehow from caching be exempt? (no) What? So I can see a glow, a glimmer And feast on fruits of all the singers But not be stung somehow by yearning's stinger. (no) So supposedly I'm strong and I cultivate a luscious lawn But my crops can fail, I can also be wrong. I can woo a distant beauty but hopeless missing always rules me. There's no invincible disguise that lasts all day. Painful storms will always come to blur my way And conversely blurry storms will go their way. There's no invincible disguise that lasts all day. The act is sweet but it casts a shadow just the same.
