Let me tell you a little secret
Write it down so you don't forget it
Are you looking to have a little fun
Well this trick here will get it done
What do you do when your life gets stale
Stoke up the fire slide down the rail
Show 'em someone they can use
Strain that smile
Crawl a mile
You wear a mask
I'm hiding my face
I'm hiding my face
Do you like my new face
Do you like my new face
So you want to be someone else
Grab a new face off from the shelf
Take it from me and make it good
To push that gossip round your neighborhood
Go ahead and be so much more
Pick a life you can't afford
Make it sparkle and brand new
Crack the bottle
Pull the throttle
Shine your light
I'm gonna blind you
I'm gonna blind you
You can't see me now
You can't see me now
I'm only getting started
I'm only getting started
I'm only getting started getting started
You know I'm on to somethin'
Come close and I'll confide it
Dressing up's for more than once a year
Now please go out and heed my advice
Don't look back and no thinking twice
Before you know it when the night is through
There's gonna be whole new you
Folks will step up and test your mettle
Fend them off act the devil
Make it so they can't ignore
Play the game
Smash the grain
It's your time now
