Bob Mould - Skintrade lyrics
[Bob Mould - Skintrade lyrics]
Floodlight, Arizona the fire trucks rush in
Double wide double bed
Specks of ceiling paint fall off the tin
And they're standing by
Brow begins to moisten as you take
Another hotshot to stiff you up
The room is spinning now
That's it, man
Inhibitions fall by the wayside happy man
You don't care what's happening to you now
It's all one big blur of lights and action
Later on, you find out
You've been had, you've been
Tricked, you're exposed, you've got it
Made in the skin trade with
Your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
And the hole in your arm won't
Heal the pain you're feeling
Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal
Hemispheres so high and mighty
Velveteen and chalk delight
You've become the new obsession of
Everyone that you've caressed
But, you can't tell who recognizes you
Can't tell who knows your face
Can't tell anything, can't tell
Anyone what you've done, you've got it
Made in the skin trade with
Your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
And the hole in your arm won't
Heal the pain you're feeling
Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal
Double wide double bed
Specks of ceiling paint fall off the tin
And they're standing by
Brow begins to moisten as you take
Another hotshot to stiff you up
The room is spinning now
That's it, man
Inhibitions fall by the wayside happy man
You don't care what's happening to you now
It's all one big blur of lights and action
Later on, you find out
You've been had, you've been
Tricked, you're exposed, you've got it
Made in the skin trade with
Your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
And the hole in your arm won't
Heal the pain you're feeling
Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal
Hemispheres so high and mighty
Velveteen and chalk delight
You've become the new obsession of
Everyone that you've caressed
But, you can't tell who recognizes you
Can't tell who knows your face
Can't tell anything, can't tell
Anyone what you've done, you've got it
Made in the skin trade with
Your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
And the hole in your arm won't
Heal the pain you're feeling
Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal
