An Artist With A Brilliant Disguise
St. Thomas Lyrics

Know when you′re invited here
You can feel strong and ready to share
Surrounded by a million suffice
You're and artist with a brilliant disguise

Then when it′s time to say goodbye
That is the moment you should cry

Be sure they know who you are
Before the rest keeps falling down

Wipe that smile of your face
And tell the people your ready to play
Send the DJ out on the floor
And make him dance to his only song
Don't be afraid to show that you were wrong

And when your back in the town
Sure that you will be around
Gather all your family to tell
All the stories you got to sell
The one about a golden shoe
Make them believe it all was true
And when they look in your eyes
You're an artist with a brilliant disguise

Then when it′s time to say goodbye
That is the moment you should cry

Be sure they know who you are
Before the rest keeps falling down
Wipe that smile of your face
And tell the people your ready to play
Send the DJ out on the floor
And make him dance to his only song
Don′t be afraid to show that you were wrong
