I heard a story
It´s too hard to mention
I heard a thing once
I can´t even say
I had a moment
Of doubtful suspension
But it´s almost forgotten
It´s been pulled away

By too many hands
Touching where I stand
And I can´t fall
Because you´ll try and catch me
Never let me go
You don´t think I know
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch my skin

I heard a voice say
It´s all my invention
A fictional statement
It´s all in my head
All I can tell you
My only pretension
Was in thinking you listened
To me when I said

There´s too many hands
Touching where I stand
And I can´t fall
Because you´ll try and catch me
Never let me go
You don´t think I know
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch my skin

There´s too many hands
Touching where I stand
And I can´t fall
Because you´ll try and catch me
Never let me go
You don´t think I know
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch me

I´ve heard your paltering and your lies
And it won´t go away when I close my eyes
Do you think of me when I´m no where near
When you shut your mouth tell me what you hear
I´ve heard it all
I´ve heard it all
I´ve heard it

Somebody called me
A paranoid angel
From on the other
Side of the wall
You might be special
But it´s too late to change now
´Cause it isn´t the first time
I´ve heard it all
For too many years
To relieve my fears
So I´m advising you
To get away and fast
If it´s my mistake
Then the blame I´ll take
You´re not the first
And you won´t be the last guy

I´ve too many hands
Touching where I stand
And I can´t fall
Because you´ll try and catch me
Never let me go
You don´t think I know
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch me

I´ve too many hands
Touching where I stand
And I can´t fall
Because you´ll try and catch me
Never let me go
You don´t think I know
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch me

I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch me
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch me
I´ve heard it all
And so you´ll never scratch my skin
