Naked

Naked as a truth
As a liberated youth
Oh oh oh oh oh

Uncovered as a new-born baby
As the angels gonna take me
Oh oh-uh-oh

Open as a wound
As naked as the moon
Shining in a silver blade
Glaring as the sun fades

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside-out
And upside down
Out in plain sight

Naked as the eye that sees
Your long-forgotten memories
Oh oh oh oh oh

Barer as your craftman’s hands
Stripped as a one-man band
Oh oh-uh-oh

Exposed as a beggar’s feet
Sleeping in a cold damn street
Limped as the water in the pictures of the Caribbean

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside-out
And upside down
Out in plain sight

Humble as a prayer
Naked as desire
Oh oh oh oh oh

Shocking as your self-insurance
Seeking no acceptance
Oh oh-uh-oh

Simple as a masterpiece
Because there’s dove of peace
Purer as the end of dawn
Early hours of the morning

Won’t you let me see you
Won’t you let me see you

And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside-out
And upside down
And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside-out
And upside down
And your bright side
And your dark side
And inside-out
And upside down

Out in plain sight
