"Skin" by 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 armor is something underneath 
If you look below for hidden treasure underneath another
layer 
Are you hiding underneath the skin 

CHORUS 

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 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
