I Saw the Truth Undressing Songtext
von Ezra Furman

I saw the truth undressing
In the backstage room tonight
I saw her pale breasts hanging
In the mirror ringed with lights

I tried to look away
But I was frozen in place
And I thought I caught her gaze
But I could not read her face

(Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, ooh)


Anyway she just ignored me
The simpler thing to do (doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo)
Backstage, we′re not performing
At least we're not supposed to (doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, ooh)

I watch her from the wings (from the wings)
She′s pleasing to the eye (pleasing to the eye)
And when she does her thing
The audience goes wild

(Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, ooh)

I saw the naked woman
That's underneath her clothes (doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo)
I feel I know her secret
But just what do I know? (Doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo, ooh)


And when it's time for me to play
My costume all arranged (costume all arranged)
There′s nothing underneath it
Nothing feels so strange (so strange)
