The old 1930's radio show, "The Shadow" gave us the idea for this one. We actually used a soundbite directly from the show as the intro to the song. It's about people that have alot to hide, and more specifically, the types of people that you wouldn't think have a great deal to keep hidden that actually do. Remember Jim Baker?

the childs face is screaming white
caught between your mattress and knife
but you don't give a damn
this is the only way you can feel like a man

the night has a thousand eyes
can it see through your mind

screaming from a paper pulpit
psychic vampire, selling lies
do you hate this much
that you would poison their minds and
bring them down with you

the night has a thousand eyes
can they see through your mind

what evil lurks in the hearts of men
your shadow knows when you're alone
undercover, dissappear
your shadow knows, always near

you have always been safe in your disguise
time has come for you to realize
you can't escape from your mind

plotting wars and keeping score
with open caskets
unsuspecting soldiers bought at
bargain rates while you rake in cash
to save your hide
