Lyrics
The Man Of A Million Faces
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the darkness she embraces
The man of a million faces
Soon on backstreets she paces
Freezing in flimsy laces
Quite the psychiatric case
Is the man of a million faces
Wielder of flails and mases
Veteran of high-speed chases
Not a single victim places
The man of a million faces
No one knows what his race is
No sin or crime disgraces
The man of a million faces
