Scratch the Surface Songtext
von Hipsway

Singing in a language not her own
Sleeping on the floor of every other home
Immortal lips, immortal lips, I once kissed a star
Whose burning desire left me with a scar
That was when she had a fever
A fever that she hoped would never leave her
Everything she′d say, yeah, everything she'd do
Were always ways of trying to get back to you
Words like the closer to yesterday, the better for me
I had many offers, but turned them away
I don′t want to get by with what will do
I don't want no life without you
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it's a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
To what extent can you defend
An attitude that will not bend?
Wouldn′t you gladly leave behind


The part of you that is so unkind?
So unkind
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it′s a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it's a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
Gotta, gotta, get together
Gotta, gotta, yeah, get together
Gotta, gotta, get together
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it′s a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it's a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
If you only scratch the surface
Yeah, it′s a life without purpose
But if you open your eyes
You may get a surprise
She was more than glamour for your eyes
Gotta, gotta, get together
Gotta, gotta, get together
