I See You Songtext
von John Wesley Harding

I see you
Standing in front of a firing squad
When they ask what your final request is
You say: "Is there a God?"
I see you
Holding your own hand on Lover′s Lane
Whispering sweet nothings in your own ear
Self-serenading "You're So Vain"
Say I′m not free
But that's not true
You don't see me
But I see you
I see you, I see you
You′re see-through


I see you
Stretched to the end marks of sanity
Saying "What else can you give me?
I can take it all"
I see you
Martyr yourself over trivia
Because you thought you′d look good walking on water
When you can't even do the crawl
Say you′re so free
But that's not true
You don′t see me
But I see you
I see you, I see you
You're see-through

Well, I see you
Lecturing a world full of volunteers
About the intricate workings of the jigsaw
If they′ve got ears, they won't hear
I see you
Lying about yourself and believing it
Living a life out of selfishness
Missing out all the good bits
Say you know me
Of course, you do
You don't see me
But I see you
I see you, I see you

I see you - Without doubt it′s getting worse
I see you - driving backwards in a hearse
I see you - no reflection in the mirror
I see you - saying stuff that I can′t hear


I see you
Drowning in a sea of complacency
Even your death throes impress you
To end your life that perfectly
I see you
Extolling the eternal flame of doubt
When if someone lit a candle
You'd try to blow it out
