Oingo Boingo - Skin lyrics

rate me

This is someone else's story Someone that I never knew This is someone else's body Am I getting through to you If you peel away the armor is something underneath If you look below for hidden treasure underneath another layer Are you hiding underneath the skin CHORUS If you peel away the skin is there anybody there If you peel away the skin is there anybody there If you peel away the armor is it too late to begin Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin Now a spark has passed between us now A momentary recognition Something lost and something gained And something shared that feels strange Something cold that will not go away There's a heart as cold as ice In a vault that's made of stone Over years the walls got higher Over years the walls have grown Is there anybody in there in this self inflicted tomb If you peel away the layers is there someone in this room If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin This is someone else's story Someone that I never knew This is someone else's body Am I getting through to you
