What you see
Oh woah woah woah
Is not always what you get
Oh woah woah woah
A lesson we must not forget
Oh woah woah woah
One never knows what to expect
Oh woah woah woah
So close your eyes, and what you get
Oh woah woah woah

And I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
Or I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
Just reminds me of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound

People act so proper when they're going 'bout their business
Cup of coffee, friendly conversation
'Til they get home,
'Til they get home
Take the phone off, lock the door and shut the curtains
Make sure that the neighbors are without suspicion

In the darkness, undercover
We may bump into each other
In the darkness, undercover
Looking for a new direction
We may wander, we may wander
In geometric patterns
In a long, long, long, long breakdown

Hey, yeah, my life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads
Hey, yeah, my life has begun unfolding
In so many pieces
Hey, yeah, my life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads in the wind
So many pieces.

You're out of control
And you want the world to love you, oh
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
Yeah, that you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner
And you've got nowhere to go

And I tried to be there, when you turned away
I tried to find you, but you turned away

When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn't talk, I never had nothin' to say
But now I'm grown, and nothing much seems to have changed
I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everyone but me knew something
Walking blind through burning fields
The dead brigade is on my heels

Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?

It only makes me laugh
