I speak outside what is recognized as the border between “reason” and “insanity”. But I consider it a measure of my humanity to be written off by the living graves of a billion murdered lives. And I’m not ashamed of my recurring dreams about me and a gun and a different species (hint: starts with “h” and rhymes with “Neuman’s”) of carnage strewn about the stockyards, the factories and farms. Still I know as well as anyone that it does less good than harm to be this honest with a conscience eased by lies. But you cannot deny that meat is still murder. Dairy is still rape. And I’m still as stupid as anyone, but I know my mistakes. I have recognized one form of oppression, now I recognize the rest. And life’s too short to make another’s shorter-(animal liberation now!).

How long until You defend Your name

and set the record right?

How far will you allow the human race

to run and hide? Yeah.

And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses

Before You step into our sky blue and say

“that’s quite enough”



Am I naive to want a remedy

for every bitter heart?

Can I believe You hold an

exclamation point for every question mark? Yeah.

And can I leave the timing of this universe

to bigger hands?

And may I be so bold to ask

You to please hurry?



I hear that a God who’s good

would never let the evil

run so long

But I say it’s because You’re good

You’re giving us more time

‘Cause I believe that You love to show us mercy

But when will You step into our sky blue and say

“that’s quite enough, and your time is up” Yeah.



repeat chorus



Am I naive?

Can I believe?

And can I leave in bigger hands?

And may I be so bold to ask You, to ask You,

to ask You

How long?

Is this it, are we done?
Must we carry on?
Like such fools shameless fools
Is it finally over?
Why when I call must you take so long?
Maybe weeks sometimes months
For you to call me back

You’re so naive [you’re so naive]
You’re so naive [you’re so naive]

My friends were right
Should have played it smooth
Should have tried to laugh
Instead of being true

I feel so numb inside
As I rest my head to go to sleep

One more time
Though I know it’s wrong
Maybe you should do mine
And everything is fine

Feel so naive [feel so naive]
Feel so naive [feel so naive]

Naivet? and childhood left behind deprived of the goodness of mankind
past encounters have made her strong strong enough to carry on and on
Undress you with her eyes uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down don’t need to care lights are low exposed and bare

Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide no one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don’t be afraid to stare she is only naked

She knows exactly what to do with men like you,
Inside out in her mind there’s no doubt where you’re coming from
mystery will turn you on.

Undress you with her eyes, uncover the truth from the lies,
Strip you down don’t need to care, lights are low exposed and bare
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no-one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don’t be afraid to stare she is only naked

Hello, its me
I thought you’d understand
Well maybe I should have kept my mouth shut
I keep seeing such a pretty picture
I’d rather be hated than pitied
Maybe I should have left it to your imagination
I just want to be me

This angel’s dirty face is sore, holding on to what she had before.
Not sharing secrets with any old fool, now she’s gonna keep her cool,
She wants to get naked
She wants to get naked,
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no-one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don’t be afraid to stare she is only naked
(repeat chorus to fade)

Yeah I’m fadin’
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I’d say a word


Weighed down
Safe now

You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone


Yeah I’m hiding
in the fallout
Now I’m wasted
They don’t need me, don’t want me, don’t hear a word I say


Weighed down
Safe now

You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone


Inside your head
No one’s there
And I don’t think I’ll ever be
And I don’t care


You’re naked inside your fear
You can’t take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone

I used to think that loneliness, was something only I did best
Now I guess I’ve got to think again
Our energies collide inside like two demented butterflies
Fluttering and fighting on the wind

I’ve got to go again
Beause I ain’t got second skin

Because I’m naked, and you skin me to the bone
Beause I’m naked, all fucked up and all alone
But I’m naked, no one hears me when I call, or stands near me when I fall
Because I’m naked

I want to go where I fit in, it’s somewhere I don’t think I’ve been
I guess I’ll only find it when I die
My mind’s a haven where I rest, I havn’t time to brave distress
I guess that’s why it’s better when I lie

Because I’m naked, and you skin me to the bone
Because I’m naked, all fucked up and all alone
But I’m naked, no one hears me when I call, or stands near me when I fall
Because I’m naked

Give me some love I don’t know what I’m doing
Tell me some love and I know where I’m going

Because I’m naked, and you skin me to the bone
Because I’m naked, all fucked up and all alone
But I’m naked, no one hears me when I call, or stands near me when I fall
Because I’m naked

I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that’s gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn’t really matter
How I feel inside
‘Cause life is like a game sometimes

But then you came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
And keep me from my fears
I’m unprotected
See how I’ve opened up
Oh, you’ve made me trust

Because I’ve nver felt like this before
I’m naked
Around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can’t hide
I’m naked
Around you
And it feels so right

I’m tyring to remember
Why I was afraid
To be myself and let the
Covers fall away
I guess I never had someone like you
To help me, to help me fit
In my spirit

I never felt like this before
I’m naked
Around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can’t hide
I’m naked
Around you
And it feels so right

I’m naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
Yeah, I’m naked
Oh oh, yeah yeah

I’m so naked around you
And I can’t hide
You’re gonna see right through, baby

All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they’re all alone
I’d sacrifice my social position tonight
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I’m not lookin’ for love and I’m lost in this night
In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
I’m not lookin’ for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)

Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Older women with younger men, I’ve got a feelin’ I’m in trouble again
But I’ve got to live my destiny

In the naked city (in the city) it’s a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city

Lonely people lookin’ for someone, lonely people goin’ their way
Lonely people lookin’ for something, lonely people goin’ their way

In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I’m not lookin’ for love and I’m lost in this night

In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I’m not lookin’ for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it’s a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)

(In the city, naked city) (repeats out)

Wearing nothing is divine
Naked is a state of mind
I take things off to clear my head
To say the things I haven’t said
I live inside the elements
The earth and sky are my best friends
Water is the evidence
That washes me from end to end

Chorus:
With my naked eye
I saw all the falling rain
Coming down on me
With my naked eye
I saw all if I said it all
I could see

It’s not a choice I tried to make
It’s not a thought I couldn’t take
Something told me it was time
To give you yours and leave me mine
My vision started to be clear
I watched the sunlight coming near
I knew the day I knew the night
I knew I could regain my sight
And it feels alright x2

Chorus x2

Last night I came into your home
To break some ice and throw some stones
I asked if we could be alone
I had some troubles of my own
Knew I had to say goodbye
To all the old things held inside
If I let the moment fly
I knew they’d all be magnified

And it feels alright x2

Came around after dark
You are nothing but a lark
Know I snuck in like a narc
I knew I had to leave my mark
Wanted to be satisfied
I tried to be dignified
Wearing nothing is divine
Naked is a state of mind

And it feels alright x2

Chorus x2

It feels alright x9

You can come inside
Come into the Naked Eye
My only world falls in again
I see your face fall in again
It’s so dark
I don’t know your name
It’s so dark
And I don’t know your name

Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Through the needle’s eye
Through the needle’s eye now
Only mirrors lie
Lie lie

You can come inside
Come into the naked eye
Naked
Naked

I feel so high
Going up on the wall
And you’re down below me
Look all around look all around now
Look all around look all around now

Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Through the needle’s eye
Through the needle’s eye now
Only mirrors lie
Lie lie

You can come inside
Come into the naked eye
Naked
Naked

Just wanted a special view
Just me and you
Just just just the two of us
Just two of us
Going up on the wall
Up on the wall
Going up on the wall
Up on the wall
Naked Eye Naked Eye

What do you see
And what’s there to learn
Reading your books

Someone’s in the room down below
Someone someone
