(words and music by Joe Jackson)



I'm sinking in

To a sea of secrets warm and green

Down and down

Back to times and places never seen



Now and then

I can wake and I remember

Just one secret thing

Through the rain

I can keep a candle burning

Under the skin of the world



It's sinking in

No need for fear of drowning, drift away

These monsters here

Are only faces I don't wear by day



Now and then

I can wake and in the mirror

Demons turn to friends

Through the pain

I can dig a little deeper

Under the skin of the world
