Abacab Lyrics By Genesis

    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 windowpane
    now 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 wrappin’
    up the world
    cause 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 gotta go
    you want it you’ve got it 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
