lyrics

Look in the mirror
A little bit clearer
Don't let Chupacabra
Get any nearer

Daybreak as I gallop from the sunrise
Under a sky of golden blue divine
I've got to see all corners with my own eyes
I love this world, I'm gonna make it mine

His kindness and trust
Was leveraged against him
His innocence was leveraged

Look in the mirror
A little bit clearer
Don't let The Confidence Man
Get any nearer

Midday, countless hopes and dreams lie broken
Wary, weary, leery and bleary-eyed
Broke his head against the truth
Broke his heart against his youth
A ship of fools abandoned and capsized

Look in the mirror
A little bit clearer
Don't let Chupacabra
Get any nearer

Sunset, calm gaze remaining steady
Though a gentleness remains in those eyes
Wooden spikes and garlic at the ready
As the parade of This Year's Hopefuls marches by

A human skin mask to disguise
The lifeless dead stare in his eyes
A human skin mask to disguise
The lifeless dead stare in her eyes

Beware Chupacabra
Beware The Confidence Man
