lyrics
Stuck On His Face
He liked to dress up,
He liked playing games.
Changing his voice,
Changing his name.
But he’d always go too far,
He would never learn.
Now he’s gone somewhere
From which he can’t return.
(Chant after each verse.)
Stuck on his face!
Stuck on his face!
He’s got a mask
Stuck on his face!
He’s not who he was,
An extraordinary case.
He’s got a mask
Stuck on his face!
He went to a party
Disguised as someone else.
Got carried away,
Couldn’t help himself.
Upset a lot of people,
Brought the party to an end.
‘It was just a joke,’ he said.
But he never saw his friends again.
(Chant...Stuck on his face! etc.)
Now he can’t get it off,
It’s stuck to his skin.
The mask is taking over,
It’s controlling him.
His left hand doesn’t know
What his right hand is doing.
His arms and legs can’t tell
If they’re coming or going.
His head feels as if
It’s on back to front.
He can’t say or do
A single thing he wants.
