lyrics

I heard someone say
"In Haiti, there's a man you can pay,
And he'll take your life away",
A certificate is all you need to disappear these days.

Just
Disappear
From sight
Then out of sight and out of mind,
Leave your troubled past behind you..

But I like my name,
And I kinda like my face,
'Cause it's mine,
But maybe in time,
I'll learn to love myself again,
I'll become my only friend.
But until then..

Just
Disappear
From sight
Then out of sight and out of mind,
Leave your troubled past behind you..

What would you give?
What would you give up to
Trade in your life?
What would you sacrifice
To disappear from view?
Why wait another day?
I'm lonely anyway..

But I like my face,
And I kinda like my name,
'Cause it's not the same,
As anyone I know,
But it'll have to go.

Well maybe I can trade it in
For a Lucy or a Lynne,
And they'll inform my next of kin,
That I'm no longer here..

Just
Disappear
From sight
Then out of sight and out of mind,
Leave your past far behind you..

Behind you..
Behind you..
Behind you..

Just
Disappear
From
Sight.
