She feels surrounded
And sex refugees
College graduates
Odd get-their-kicks
Freeloaders and lunatics

She's bored with being bored
And she's tired of being tired
And small talk is making her angry

But it's something you'll never see
There's a lot of hurt that a heart can't take
But it's something you'll never see
So don't stop her to ask to remove her mask
She's letting nobody in
Under her secret skin

He feels confused
And disappointed
Frustrated, alienated
Crushed and distorted
And most of all
It's making him angry

But it's something you'll never see
There's a lot of hurt that a heart can't take
But it's something you'll never see
So don't stop him to ask to remove his mask
He's letting nobody in
Under his secret skin

Maybe tomorrow
I'll stagger down the street
And I will be everyone I need
And I will be part of a big bird with no wings
Who knows about the secret meaning of things

And I'm not really trusting anybody
And I'm not really stabbing anybody
I'm just bored with being bored
And I'm tired of being tired
And all this small talk is making me angry

But it's something you'll never see
There's a lot of hurt that a heart can't take
But it's something you'll never see
So don't stop me to ask to remove my mask
I'm letting nobody in
Under my secret skin

Under my secret skin
