The Real Me

I went back to the doctorTo get another shrinkI sit and tell him 'bout my weekendBut he never betrays what he thinks

Can you see the real me, doctor?DoctorCan you see the real me, doctor?Doctor

I went back to my motherI said, "I'm crazy, ma, help me"She said, "I know how it feels, son'Cause it runs in the family"

Can you see the real me, mama?MamaCan you see the real me, mama?Mama

Can you see?Can you see the real me?Can you see?Can you see the real me?The real me, the real me

The cracks between the paving stonesLike rivers of flowing veinsStrange people who know mePeeping from behind every window pane

The girl I used to loveLives in this yellow houseYesterday she passed me byShe doesn't wanna know me now

Can you see the real me?Can ya?Can ya?Can you see the real me?Can ya?

I ended up with a preacherFull of lies and hateI seemed to scare him a littleSo he showed me to the golden gate

Can you see the real me, preacher?Preacher?Can you see the real me, preacher?

Can you see?Can you see?Can you see?

Can you see the real me, doctor?Can you see the real me, mother?Can you see the real me?
