My skin is
White as parchment
Drier than a downtown office building
Where the air is tight
There's time spent
Resting on her bones
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Bo-ring, bo-ring, bo-ring...
Bo-ring, bo-ring, bo-ring...
My skin is
Cold as her toes on the bathroom floor
Run back to bed and slam the door
Oh, what a lovely sound
Oh, how it shakes the ground
Oh, what a lovely
Skin is my
It's the only thing
That doesn't really fly in my land
And love is, my love is
It's the only thing that
Butterfly in Thailand
Let it be printed on every t-shirt in this land
On the finest of cottons and the hippest of brands
In bolder letters than the capital
It's the only thing it's the only thing
It's the only lonely, whoa
My skin is
White as parchment
Drier than a downtown office building
Where the air is tight
There's time spent
Waiting for that
Macrame bird of prey
To come down and sing
La-ling la-ling la-ling
Oh, what a lovely sound
