I've got you under my skin
I have got you, deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I'd tried so, not to give in
And I said to myself this affair it never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well
That I've got you under my skin
 
Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
And some nights loom up ahead when you're asleep
Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap
 
Cast me adrift on a dream
I promise to sail it till I know what it means
And send me your name on the tide
I promise to wear it as a badge inside
You know, now I know, you know, now I know
Further out, further in, further out, further in Further
Take me away from this place
 
If there's one thing you can say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again
 
She was cute, in a drippy sort of way
Kind of girl who smiles and nods all day
By the time i checked the hands on my watch
realised it was you that i forget
Here I am, a gin and tonic past the hour
Go out to the shore, shout you name out to the Atlantic
 
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully cry o'er my island
My dawn bride's veil damp and pale
Dissolves in the sun, love's web is spun
Cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
Violet skies touch my island, touch me
 
All of my sins
Are attempts to fill the voids
All of my voids
They are filled with sin
All of my demons
They are kept within
And all my violence
It does not exist
 
How can it be permissible
she compromise my principle yeah, yeah
that kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
I'm obliged to comform
When theres no other course
She used to look good to me
But now I find her
Simply irresitible
 
She's talking in her sleep (rain falls down)
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn (rain comes falling down)
And every word is nonsense but I understand and (rain falls down)
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing (rain comes falling down)
Her kindness bangs a gong (rain falls down)
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away (rain comes falling down)
It's chasing me away (rain falls down)
She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
 
Well sometime at night
I pretended to be sleeping
Just to hear what it is
That you say
When you talk to yourself
