Billy Bragg › Lyrics › The Man in the Iron Mask

When he drops you off, I will not say
"Who was that who so quickly drove away?"
The things you've done and the places you've been
When I open the door for you, I will not let them in
As long as you come back to me, I will never ask
For you I will be the man in the iron mask

You said you love me and it broke my heart
I was always your prisoner right from the start
The nights you spend without me, this house is like a dungeon
And you only return to torture me more
You must have your reasons, I will not ask
For you I will be the man in the iron mask
