GENESIS

- Abacab Lyrics

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 isn't anywhere
Abacab

If you're wrapping up the world
Cos you've taken someone else's girl
When they turn on the pillow
Even when they answer the telephone
Don't you think they'll find out
Tell me don't you think they'll find out

When they do it you're never there
When they show it you stop and stare
Abacab isn't anywhere
Abacab doesn't really care

You want it, you've got it, you've got to go
You want it, you've got it, well now you know

It's an illusion, it's a game
A 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 isn't anywhere
Abacab
