Skin Suit Blues Lyrics

"Okay, is everybody here?"

Your head is heavy on your shoulders

You can cut the corners, play it any way you'd like

There's retribution when you're older

You put your money on the other side

Living in a strange time

Living with a changed mind

You did your best, we couldn't punish you for trying

But in the back, you know they're laughing while you're dying

Staring at the microwave

Maybe I was born this way

Mama's boy was soaked with praise

Throw yourself your own parade

Doc says none's wrong, gotta mop it up

You know it's all in the head (all in the head)

While you're on, hide out from the only one that ever got you out of the bed

That sound got away in the panic, now you're running through the shadow of doubt

Pulling out with the only lighted ember

They always said that I'd land on my feet

They didn't mention that I'd shatter both my legs

What finally put you in the big boy seat?

We're taking bets, was it the money or the sex?

Living in a strange time (yeah, you said that already)

Breaking in a changed mind

You used to say it's getting better every day

We liked you comatose and sober anyway
