lyrics

Under the skin, there's nothing you wouldn't do
How to begin when I know it's lost on you?
And I'd tear the radio-waves out,
Rip the cells from TV screens and stamp them out
Burn those magazines that fuel your self doubt,
and I'd just love you.

Under your skin, I bet you think that's where I am,
when you say I'm fueling bad behavior,
while I'm telling like it is.
No you can't go on this way,
Hating yourself each morning, each night, each day,
Telling everyone you give a nod and wave,
"How are you? I'm fine.."

If there was an easy way out,
we'd all be gone by now.
I'd settle my debts with the devil, but I'd still love you.

Under my skin, do you really think I have the strength
to go and show my creations without you in my ring?
I'd stumble all these lines I'm spitting now,
the crowd would balk and I'd crack as the lights burnt out.
Somewhere in the back somebody'd shout
"No one loves you, you fraud!"

If there was an easy way out,
we'd all be gone by now.
I'd settle my debts with the devil, and I would love you.
Get your head on out of that shell
what we've got, it ain't whistles and bells.
From a glint in your eye ten years ago to this paradise now
