Alter Ego - lyrics


When I put on a mask
I can take off my clothes
If you don’t know it’s me
Well hell, anything goes
When I put on a mask
I can dance, I can sing
I feel much more empowered
To do just about anything
(I’m free to do anything)

Where would you go?
What would you do?
As an average Joe
That nobody knew

My alter ego has my needs at heart
But he only comes out after dark

What if there is a way
To make it all OK
Nobody is any wiser
At the end of the day

There’s a side of me
That you’ll rarely see
Only when I want to be
Totally free
(I’m totally free)

Where would you go?
What would you do?
As an average Joe
That nobody knew

My alter ego has my needs at heart
But he only comes out after dark

Try on another life
Just for awhile
Try on another life
And live a secret style

Where would you go?
What would you do?
Tell me where would you go?
What would you do?

Try on another life
Cheat on your wife
Steal from the tip jar
At the titty bar
Try on another life
Pick up a knife
And slash the tires
On your neighbor’s new car

Where would you go?
What would you do?
As an average Joe
That nobody knew

My alter ego has my needs at heart
But he only comes out after dark

Where would you go?
What would you do?
As an average Joe
That nobody knew

He’s my unfettered part
His bite is worse than his bark
My alter ego comes out after dark
