Skin Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

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 armour
Is something underneath?
If you look below for hidden treasure
Underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin?

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 armour
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?


If you peel away the layers
Is there anybody there?
If you peel away the armour
Is something underneath?
If you look below for hidden treasure
Underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin?

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 skin
Is there any anybody there?
If you peel away the skin
Is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin
Is there any anybody there?
If you peel away the skin
Is there any anybody there?
If you peel away the skin
Is there any anybody there?
If you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin
