Thru These Walls - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
I can hear it when they're foolin' around
\r
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
And I hear ev'ry sign, ev'ry sound
\r
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
In the dark with the shades pulled down
\r

\r
Ev'ry word that they say
\r
Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way
\r

\r
My fav'rite moment
\r
Putting the glass up next to the wall
\r
I'magination
\r
Tho' I see nothing, I hear it all
\r
Putting my sign up
\r
Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
\r
Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out
\r

\r
I can see thru' my windows
\r
I can see the girls and the boys
\r
I can see thru' my windows
\r
And I can imagine the noise
\r
I can see thru' my windows
\r
I can see them playing with toys
\r

\r
Oh I hope it won't end
\r
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend
\r

\r
Life is so lonely
\r
I don't get high off just being me
\r
I like pretending
\r
Wanting to touch them, wanting to see
\r
It's only normal
\r
Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright
\r
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight
\r

\r
Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage
\r
No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely
\r
Am I really asking a lot
\r
Just to reach out and touch somebody
\r
'Cos when I look thru' my windows or open my door
\r
I can feel it all around me
\r

\r
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
I can hear it when they're foolin' around
\r
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
And I hear ev'ry sight, ev'ry sound
\r
I can hear thru' these walls
\r
In the dark with the shades pulled down
\r

\r
Ev'ry word that they say
\r
Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way
\r

\r
Ah yeah...
\r
\r
