Master of Disguise

[Slow tempo blues] [Deep Male Singer] [Verse] Oh, the greenback's cruel tease, a heartache in the breeze, Promises of paradise, but only brings you to your knees. It's a siren in the night, with a glow that's oh so bright, But it leaves you in the shadows, far from the light. [Verse 2] It'll dance and it'll twirl, a deceiver of the world, A master of disguise, in its grip, we're all unfurled. It can buy a fleeting smile, but it's just a hollow trial, 'Cause money's love is fleeting, and it leaves you in denial. [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Money talks in whispers, in a game that's never fair, It'll lift you up to heaven, then leave you in despair. Oh, money's a cruel master, with a heart that's made of stone, It'll promise you forever, then leave you all alone. [Verse] In the silence of the night, money's shadow casts a spell, It's a lover turned a traitor, with a soul to sell. It'll hold you close and tight, with a grip that's firm and sure, But when the morning comes, it's love you can't secure. [Guitar solo] [Slow Temp Blues] [Verse] In the silence of the night, money's shadow casts a spell, It's a lover turned a traitor, with a soul to sell. It'll hold you close and tight, with a grip that's firm and sure, But when the morning comes, it's love you can't secure. [Slow Temp Blues] [Verse] Beneath the weeping willow, where paper bills do sway, Lies the heartache of the many, who've seen their dreams decay. For every coin that glitters, there's a story of a tear, A tale of lost souls wandering, in a world that's insincere. [Slow Temp Blues] [Duet] [Verse] So listen to the blues, let it take you by the hand, It's the rhythm of the broken, the anthem of the damned. As the final note is played, on this stage of faded glory, Remember it's the love, not the money, that writes the truest story. [Fade Out and End]
