Stan Ridgway - Right Through You
Look them in the eye
To show them you’re brave
But no one but me
Knows you’re just a slave
To this part in the play
You never mean what you say
You come on so strong
You run with the hunt
Don’t know what’s behind you
Don’t show what’s in front2
Sometimes you do it to show
To someone you don’t know
Like a bird on a limb
Starin’ down at it’s toes
No song he could sing
No his voice¨c¨cit just froze
And the fear that you keep
Is bottled up there inside
Chorus:
And I see right through you
Right on through
But I know you see right through me too
You put on a good show
Act so in control
But you’re laughin’ too loud
At a joke no one told
You’re not what you appear
You’re just a ghost in the mirror
Sometimes what you say¨c¨c
Yeah, you do for effect
You wanna show someone power
You wanna get some respect
But most times you don’t know
Nothin’ about it all
Chorus repeat
I’m chippin’ the rock
But it’s dark in the mine
Don’t look away now
You drive me outta my mind
But I try to act sure
I try to endure
The things that I wanted
So much outta you
A feelin’ to share
A love that was true
Or maybe I just made it up
Chorus repeat x2
