Peter Hammill
Skin
[Verse 1]
There's a shiver down the spine of the body map...
How come everything gets so physical?
With your finger on the pulse
And your head in the clouds
Everything's so tactile
In your private world
In your little world

[Chorus]
Under the skin you search for paradise
Under the skin some kind of parasite remains concealed
Under the skin a true identity, a memory
Will soon be revealed, under the skin

[Verse 2]
Hit that button, no time to lose –
Everything's so immediate
Well, you'd have it all right now
If you got to choose
In your private world
Such a tiny world

[Chorus]
Under the skin you search for paradise
Under the skin some kind of parasite remains concealed
Under the skin a true identity, a memory
Will soon be revealed, under the skin
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Is something out to get you under the skin?
Full of the promise of paradise?
Is something out to get you under the skin?
Full of the promise of paradise?
Paradise now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything gets so physical
Everything's so immediate
In your private world
Such a tiny world

[Chorus]
Under the skin you search for paradise
Under the skin some kind of parasite remains concealed
Under the skin a true identity, a memory
Under the skin you search for paradise
Under the skin some kind of parasite remains concealed
Under the skin your true identity
Will soon be revealed, under the skin

[Outro Chorus]
Under the skin
Under the skin (Under the skin)
Under the skin (Under the skin)
Does something get to you
Under the skin?
