Stan Ridgway - Right Through You lyrics

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 its toes No song he could sing No his voice––it just froze And the fear that you keep Is bottled up there inside 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–– 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 And I see right through you Right on through But I know you see right through me too 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 And I see right through you Right on through But I know you see right through me too And I see right through you Right on through But I know you see right through me too
