Genesis - Abacab

Look up on the wall, there on the floor,
Under the pillow, behind the door.
There's a crack in the mirror.
Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane.
Do you think I'm to blame?
Tell me do you think I'm to blame?

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) He's in anywhere.
(Abacab)

If you're wrapping up the world
'Cos you've taken someone elses girl,
When they turn on the pillow,
Even when they answer the telephone,
Don't you think that by now,
Tell me, don't you think that by now.

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) He's in anywhere.
(Abacab) Doesn't really care.

you want it, you got it, you gotta go
you want it, you got it, now you know

It's an illusion, It's a game,
Or reflection of someone else's name.
When you wake in the morning,
Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.

Well, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Now there's a hole in there somewhere.

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) he's in anywhere.
(Abacab)

Worked in a record store and got this the day it came out, my song for when my sis was dying of stomach cancer at the age of 23. She and I saw Genesis (pre and post Gabriel) 4 times. I miss her and love this song.

To the Genesis die-hards.. Listen at 3:06. That's a different/altered/edited couple drum notes than the original. The drums also sound a little more forward, clear and a bit more treated in this version as well..Is this a remastered version?

[Scott D]

the number 4 best song ever made after Rock Lobster, Stone in Love and Roundabout
