Here I Stand Before Me - Crash Test Dummies

My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X-Rays

Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day

The room was dark and my skeleton was floating on the wall

My voice trembles down inside me

I’m trapped way down in my body

I, I, I, oh here I stand before me

But something’s out of place here

My mind’s eye is missing from my body

Well I know it’s there, but I can’t see where

Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean to me?

You can easily look them up in the dictionary:

They call them digits, or technically they’re known as the «phalanges»

My joints connected up inside me

Way down deep inside my body

I, I, I, oh here I stand before me

But something’s out of place here

My mind’s eye is missing from my body

Well I know it’s there, but I can’t see where

My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body

My vital organs just churn away inside me

Someday they’re going to stop this motion

And I’ll be left with…

My my, the future lay before me

Hey hey, deep inside my body

I, I, I, oh here I stand before me

But something’s out of place here

My mind’s eye is missing from my body

Well I know it’s there, but I can’t see where

I can stare and stare but I can’t see where
