Standin’ on the corner of civilization
There’s a time there’s a place for me
In a world where I can’t be found
Cold and mean people give me the creeps

Going to the jungle where the elephant roams
Got to get away gonna make it my home

Losing my taste for the human race
Social grace is a waste of time
It’s absurd when I look around
So sublime that we blow my mind

Naked in the rain with a killer whale
I can’t taste the salt when I lick his tail

Naked in the rain
Doctor Doolittle what’s your secret
Give it to me doctor
Don’t keep it

I never met an animal that I didn’t like
You can come to me I won’t bite
Don’t you know dog is man’s best friend
There is some love that you can’t fight

Naked in the rain with black tattoos
Runnin’ through the woods laughing at the blues

Naked in the rain
Doctor Doolittle what’s your secret
Give it to me doctor
Don’t keep it

Listen to the talking heart in my chest
With this gift good Lord I am blessed
There’s a lump and it’s in my throat
I’m in love with the wilderness

Naked in the river skinny dippin’ my way
In the waterfall I just wanna play

Naked in the rain
Doctor Doolittle what’s your secret
Give it to me doctor
Don’t keep it
Naked in the rain
Doctor Doolittle what’s your secret
Give it to me doctor
Don’t keep it

“This is a mad house,” she goes straight for the palm
“You’ll be luck to make it till Tuesday”

I say “You must be joking, the idea’s absurd”
But the picture’s hanging on her every word
But she comes right back, her black velvet cat
Has gone smiled all over the carpet
He says “I know my rights, I’ve got nothing to say”
But he cried all night on the night ‘n’ day

I’ve seen the naked flame
And I’m turning my eyes away

“Yes it’s a mad house,” the minister shouts
But his words drown out in the crowd
He says “I open my mouth and some idiot speaks”
So he strikes the service for another two weeks
Then the party’s over, it’s a free-for-all
I’m under the table, I got my foot in the door
Well she’s a natural leader, and she’s bound to win
She’s just waiting for the burning to begin

I’ve seen the naked flame
It’s gonna burn me again
I’m dying down in the rain
And I’m turning my eyes away

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

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

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?

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)

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

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

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

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)
