Lyrics

X-Ray

She's the flutter in my heart The spring is in my step My empty head Sees the lump form in my throat The view in my mind's eye My empty heart Heart, heart, heart, heart, ho My heart Heart, heart, heart, heart, ho Whoa whoa She's got her suspicions (X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray) Romantic intuition (X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray) She sees through me with her X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray vision Whoa X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray vision Whoa Sees me shifting in my seat Picks that in a heart beat My empty head Sees the tongue get to my cheek My conscience bleak My empty heart Heart, heart, heart, heart, ho My heart Heart, heart, heart, heart, ho Whoa She's got her suspicions (X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray) Romantic intuition (X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray) She sees through me with her X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray vision Whoa X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray vision Whoa And with this power She can see Through solid objects Like you and me
