Under My Skin - Otis Junior, Dr. Dundiff, Jim James

Took off like a shot--bang!

Straight to the head

He catches his breath and pinches himself

To see if it’s really just all in his head

And he moves so fast

One moment last and then passed in an instant

The past seems so distant

And the mirror on the wall, man, it seems so different

Now!

Everything just changed

But if you look close everything’s the same

Still the same boy with the same old brain

Still the same heart with the same old pain

Still he walks alone

You can hear him humming all the same old songs

Movin' through the chaos keeping all his calm

He says «when you’re in the middle you don’t feel a storm

So let the wind blow

And let the pouring rain fall down

I love the sound

And let the thunder roll

And let it shake us on the ground

I love the sound»

He never looks back

Never even turns his head

He says, «I feel the wind under my skin

And if you listen you’ll hear just what it said»

But it moves so fast

One … will pass

In an instant

And off in the distance

Is a world he knows but never been in

Now in the pouring rain

Soak in the sin streaming down his face

Still makes way with a steady pace

But … so close he can almost taste

The … is all he knows

You can hear him humming on the same old song

Movin' through the chaos keeping his calm

«When you’re in the middle you can’t feel the storm

When you’re in the middle you don’t feel the storm

Let the wind blow

And let the pouring rain fall down

I love the sound

And let the thunder roll

And let it shake us on the ground

I love the sound»
