Back to the lyrics overview


The sweat had sunk into his sheet
The moon was lighting up the street
He pictured her in some strange place
bathing in some stranger’s heat

If heaven’s you, then hell is me

He closed his eyes to better see
All images taking turns
Then suddenly like in a dream
He’s watching him, touching her

And knowing well the earth will rebel
And knowing about nature’s curse

But that was just a bad excuse
There wasn’t even much to lose
So many lives that he could choose
He chose the wrong one now he’s thinking

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
For the love of your skin
Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
And it don’t mean a thing
Just tell me where have you been

Is this the dark setting in?

Imagination if you dare
Can take you almost everywhere
He’s howling like a lonely wolf
But acting like something scared
(This is not happening, god set me free)

He tried to hold the clamour down
Silence never seemed so loud
He never looked for what he found
Another storm behind the clouds

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
For the love of your skin
Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
And it don’t mean a thing
Just tell me where have you been

Feelings come and feelings go
But no one really wants to know this one, baby
You can trust it like your meanest friend
It don’t suck up, it don’t pretend
Like a big slow motion accident
It will fuck you right up in the end
Now watch it
