Right Through You — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Look them in the eye

To show them youre brave

But no one but me

Knows youre 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

Dont know whats behind you

Dont show whats in front2

Sometimes you do it to show

To someone you dont know





Like a bird on a limb

Starin down at its toes

No song he could sing

No his voiceccit 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 youre laughin too loud

At a joke no one told

Youre not what you appear

Youre just a ghost in the mirror





Sometimes what you saycc

Yeah, you do for effect

You wanna show someone power

You wanna get some respect

But most times you dont know

Nothin about it all





Chorus repeat





Im chippin the rock

But its dark in the mine

Dont 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
