There's a lock on my cupboard door
That I can only reach once inside
And I often sit and wonder who designed
Such a perfect place for me to hide
[Chorus]
It's just my name
It's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your skin
[Verse 2]
Well I was never lonely 'till the day that I was born
Since that day I masquerade in a skin that I have worn
With at least three separate individual minds
When long John returns he'll give a scream at what he finds
[Chorus]
Is just my name
Is just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your
[Bridge]
Black dog, black dog, that I'll never know
Oh black dog haunts you mind, your world, your soul
Oh black dog, black dog, can't you see I am fine?
Oh black dog, black dog, you're no plague of mine
[Chorus]
It's just my name
It's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
It's just my name
Oh, it's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your skin
