I went back to
the doctor
to get another shrink
I sit and tell him
about my weekend
but he never betrays
what he thinks
Can you see the
real me, doctor?
doctor
Can you see the
real me, doctor?
woah doctor
I went back to my mother
I 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, mother?
mother
Can you see the
real me, mother?
woah mother
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 stones
like rivers of
flowing veins
Strange people who
knew me
peep from behind
every window pane
The girl I used to love
lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed
me by she doesn't want
to know me now
Can you see the
real me, can you,
can you?
Can you see the
real me, can you?
woah yeah
I ended up with
the preacher
full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare
him a little
so 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
Woah can you see
the real me, doctor?
Can you see the
real me, mother?
Can you see
the real me?
