Paper Bird, Boy Omega - Elephant Skin lyrics
[Paper Bird, Boy Omega - Elephant Skin lyrics]
I feel like a dummy on a carousel ride
All dolled up and drugged up for paradise
And the closer I get to the way out
The faster they pull down the switch
That speeds up the circle so turning
And I heard an an aching itch, oh
Once in a while
The kids come up and try to sit on my lap
Oh, their mothers take out their cameras
To take a holiday snap
And when they're done
They pull out their markers
And write their names on my face with their
Dirty little drawings in the obvious places
And I, I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
Aw, just like a girl
Always thinking about new clothes
You always look good know how look?
Well, it's what we fellows like
A girl to have
It came to this, I can't lie
This dummy has only one face
I'm gonna look good for everyone
I'll leave pretty little traces
Yeah, come and kiss, make yourself at home
In this house that covers the gates to Hell
Gather 'round the fire
Everyone's got something to tell
And they'll make you feel
Safe from any attack
While they rummage in the kitchen
For the knife to stab you in the back
While they rummage in the kitchen
For the knife to stab you in the back
While they rummage in the kitchen
For the knife to stab you in the back
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
All dolled up and drugged up for paradise
And the closer I get to the way out
The faster they pull down the switch
That speeds up the circle so turning
And I heard an an aching itch, oh
Once in a while
The kids come up and try to sit on my lap
Oh, their mothers take out their cameras
To take a holiday snap
And when they're done
They pull out their markers
And write their names on my face with their
Dirty little drawings in the obvious places
And I, I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
And I try to be honest with you
But this shiny fake elephant skin's
A warm coat for the truth
Aw, just like a girl
Always thinking about new clothes
You always look good know how look?
Well, it's what we fellows like
