I wear black glasses
Just a frame of me you see
Fancy window dressing
In the mirror glass, I reflect a bigger me
I use them as a curtain
With two holes to see the world
When I'm not too certain
If the real me inside is the one who needs to hide
In my glasses I'm the wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice; I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down
It could all turn around
If I take them off
Would you call it off?
If I take them off
Take them off for you
Take them off for you
When I wear black glasses
Am I hiding me from view?
Where's my Lion's Courage
And the Tin Man's heart to feel I'll be enough for you
In my glasses I'm the wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice; I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down
Would you stick around
And see me through?
See me as you?
If I take them off
Take them off for you
So I wear black glasses
Am I hiding me from view?
In my glasses I'm the wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice; I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down
Would you stick around
If I take them off
Is the whole thing off?
If my glasses I'm the Wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice; I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down
Would you stick around
And see me through?
See me as you
If I take them off
