Stan Ridgway Right Through You
You look them in the eye To show them you're brave But no one but me knows That 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 You don't show what's behind You don't show what's in front And you do it to show Someone you don't know Like a bird on a limb Starin' down at its toes No song it could sing No its voice it 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 Yo put on a good show You 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 Sometims what you say 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 at all CHORUS I'm chippin' the rock But it's tark in the mine Don't look away now You drive me outa my mind But I try to get sure I try to endure The things that I wanted So much outa you A feelin' to share A love that was true Or maybe I just made it up CHORUS ----------------------------------------
