Songtexte The Real Me - Phish

I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink
Tell him about my weekend
The word never betrays what it means

Can you see the real me, doctor? (Doctor)
Can you see the real me, doctor? (Oh, doctor)

I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy, ma, help me"
She said, "You must know how it feels, son
'Cause it runs in the family"

Can you see the real me, doctor? (Mother)
Can you see the real me, mother? (Oh, mother)

The cracks between the paving stones
Like rivers of flowing veins
Strange people have known me
From behind every window pane
The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by
She doesn't want to know me now

Can you see the real me, can ya? (Can ya?)
Can you see the real me, can ya?

I ended up at the preacher's
Full of lies and hate
It seemed to scare him just a little bit
So I shoved him to the water gate

Can you see the real me, preacher? (Preacher)
Can you see the real me, preacher?

Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see the real me, preacher?
Can you see the real me? Woah
Can you see the real me, me, me, me, me, me, me?
