Mask Lyrics - Singles: 1979-1983, Vol. 1 - Bauhaus

The man of shadows thinks in clay 

Dreamed trapped thoughts of suffocation days 

He's seen in iron environments 

With plastic sweat out of chiseled slits for eyes 

From the growth underneath the closed mouth 

You'll catch if you listen rack trapped cubist vowels 

From a dummy head expression 

From a dummy head expression 

Transformation is invested 

With the mysterious and the shameful 

While the thing I am becomes somethin' else 

Part character, part sensation 

The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast 

The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast 

The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast 

...
