Disappearing Skin Tight Blues

(앨범: Somewhere To Elsewhere - 2000)

I'm living above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire
I come in from the cold at night
And I stand next to the fire
Now, most times I can win one
but someday I could lose
Then I'll have to start all over again
And shake off all these blues
'Cause you tore down all the fences
And you put me in the clear
Then I left my old skin behind
And I started to disappear

Now there's something in the kitchen
And it's cooking mighty fine
There's a good one in the oven
And I'm sure gonna get in line
In the interest of my nutrition
I'm about to take the plunge
I'm gonna take the whole thing in
And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge
Need a map with new direction
And a compass for the turn
Then I'll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

Oh, how you move me,
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear

I open the box and look inside
And I don't like what I see
I turn the key and take a ride
In a wind that's blowing free
In the interest of my education
I'm about to read the book
Then I'll open my eyes in the morning
And I'll take another look
Need a map with new directions
And a compass for the turn
Then I'll take that drink of water
and let the old one burn

Oh, how you move me,
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear

[instrumental]

Oh, how you move me,
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feeling empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
