Right Through You Lyrics - Partyball - Stan Ridgway

You look them in the eye 

To show them you're brave 

But no one but me knows 

That 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 

You don't show what's behind 

You don't show what's in front 

And you do it to show 

Someone you don't know 

Like a bird on a limb 

Starin' down at its toes 

No song it could sing 

No its voice it just froze 

And the fear that you keep 

Is bottled up there inside 

CHORUS 

And I see 

Right through you 

Right on through 

But I know you see 

Right through me too 

Yo put on a good show 

You 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 

Sometims 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 at all 

CHORUS 

I'm chippin' the rock 

But it's tark in the mine 

Don't look away now 

You drive me outa my mind 

But I try to get sure 

I try to endure 

The things that I wanted 

So much outa you 

A feelin' to share 

A love that was true 

Or maybe I just made it up 

CHORUS
