Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look up on the wall

There on the floor

Under the pillow

Behind the door

There's a crack in the mirror

Somewhere there's a hole in a window pane

Now do you think I'm to blame?

Tell me, do you think I'm to blame?

[Verse 2]

(When they do it)

You're never there

(When they show it)

You stop and stare

(Abacab)

He's in anywhere

(Abacab)

[Verse 3]

If you're wrappin'

Up the world

'Cause you've taken

Someone else's girl

Oh when they turn on the pillow

Even when they answer the telephone

Don't you think that by now?

Tell me, do you think that by now?

[Verse 4]

(When they do it)

You're never there

(When they show it)

You stop and stare

(Abacab)

He's in anywhere

(Abacab)

Doesn't really care

[Verse 5]

If you want it, you got it

You gotta go

You want it, you got it

Now you know

[Verse 6]

It's an illusion

It's a game

Or reflection

Of someone else's name

When you wake in the morning

Wake and find you're covered in cellophane

Well there's a hole in there somewhere

Yeah there's a hole in there somewhere

Baby there's a hole in there somewhere

Now there's a hole in there somewhere

[Verse 7]

(When they do it)

You're never there

(When they show it)

You stop and stare

(Abacab)

He's in anywhere

(Abacab)
