You are an effect
Lookin’ for a cause
Hoping for respect
Or maybe just applause
You’re a refugee
Washed up on foreign soil
Who’re you gonna be
A peasant or a royal
You can hold your breath
‘til your face turns blue
but you can’t escape what’s true
You can fool some eyes
in your new disguise
but you’ll never stop being you
Life is just a trip
Be careful not to fall
With a single slip
You may lose it all
You can try new clothes
Or try on those new shoes
But don’t you suppose
You’ll ever shed these blues
You can hold your breath
‘til your face turns blue
but you can’t escape what’s true
You can fool some eyes
in your new disguise
but you’ll never stop being you
No you just can’t quit
Or get out of it
And no matter what you do
You can never stop being you
You can hold your breath
‘til your face turns blue
but you can’t escape what’s true
You can fool some eyes
in your new disguise
but you’ll never stop being you
