[Verse 1]
I wear black glasses
Just a frame of me you see
Fancy window dressing
In the mirror glass
I reflect a bigger me

[Verse 2]
I use them as a curtain
With two holes to see the world
When I'm not too certain
If the real me inside is
The one who needs to hide

[Chorus]
In my glasses, I'm the Wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice
I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down?
It could all turn around if I take them off
Would you call it off?
If I take them off
Take them off for you
Take them off for you, ooh

[Verse 3]
When I wear black glasses
Am I hiding me from view?
Where's my lion's courage
And the Tin Man's heart to feel
I'll be enough for you

[Chorus]
In my glasses, I'm the Wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice
I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down?
Would you stick around and see me through?
See me as you?
If I take them off
Take them off for you

[Bridge]
So I wear black glasses
Am I hiding me from view?

[Chorus]
In my glasses, I'm the Wizard of Oz
You can hear my voice
I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down?
Would you stick around if I take them off?
Is the whole thing off? Yeah
In my glasses, I'm the Wizard of Oz, ooh
You can hear my voice
I hear your applause
Would you see a clown if the curtain came down?
Would you stick around and see me through?
See me as you?
If I take them off
Take them off
Take them off
For you
