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
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
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
and what he finds
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
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
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
