"I Saw The Truth Undressing" lyrics

"I Saw The Truth Undressing"

I saw the truth undressing
In the backstage room tonight
I saw her pale breasts hanging
In the mirror ringed with lights

And I tried to look away
But I was frozen in place
And I thought I caught her gaze
But I could not read her face

Anyway she just ignored me
The simpler thing to do
Backstage we're not performing
At least we're not supposed to

I watch her from the wings (From the wings)
She's pleasing to the eye (Pleasing to the eye)
And when she does her thing
The audience goes wild

I saw the naked woman
That's underneath her clothes
I feel I know her secret
But just what do I know?

And when it's time for me to play
My costume all arranged (Costume all arranged)
There's nothing underneath it
And nothing feels so strange
So strange
