X-ray
Don't be fooled by appearances, It only shows what the world already knows Don't rely on the physical evidence Of what the x-ray pictures show Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented Emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings And the spirit can do truly wonderous things
As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street I say a silent prayer for myself I was taken to the local doctor For a consultation about my physical health I heard him ask about my family - history 'You see, Mrs. Davies, it might be hereditary. Yes it might' Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be 'You were a physical deformity'
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
Ev'ry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had Appeared on my back. To my disappointment I was not a freak. You see, maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple, Side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. And I thought 'If I'm gonna be a cripple, I'll go all the way'
They could photograph reality, But they can't picture your fantasy 'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
