Lyrics Under My Skin - Otis Junior, Dr. Dundiff, Jim James

Under My Skin

Took off like a shot--bang!
Straight to the head
He catches his breath and pinches himself
To see if it’s really just all in his head
And he moves so fast
One moment last and then passed in an instant
The past seems so distant
And the mirror on the wall, man, it seems so different
Now!
Everything just changed
But if you look close everything’s the same
Still the same boy with the same old brain
Still the same heart with the same old pain
Still he walks alone
You can hear him humming all the same old songs
Movin' through the chaos keeping all his calm
He says «when you’re in the middle you don’t feel a storm
So let the wind blow
And let the pouring rain fall down
I love the sound
And let the thunder roll
And let it shake us on the ground
I love the sound»
He never looks back
Never even turns his head
He says, «I feel the wind under my skin
And if you listen you’ll hear just what it said»
But it moves so fast
One … will pass
In an instant
And off in the distance
Is a world he knows but never been in
Now in the pouring rain
Soak in the sin streaming down his face
Still makes way with a steady pace
But … so close he can almost taste
The … is all he knows
You can hear him humming on the same old song
Movin' through the chaos keeping his calm
«When you’re in the middle you can’t feel the storm
When you’re in the middle you don’t feel the storm
Let the wind blow
And let the pouring rain fall down
I love the sound
And let the thunder roll
And let it shake us on the ground
I love the sound»
