Oingo Boingo - Skin lyrics

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? 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 pa**ed between us, now A momentary recognition Something lost and something gained And something shared that feels so 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?
