Thick Skin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've opened up a place
In this simple song
It's a little bit of space
I'm leaving……
Taking chances
At first glances
That you'll get me all wrong
And cross out every word I'm singing
Or this could grow on you (my friend)
Might not knock you down
Or drag you in
But it's a place I can begin
To get under your antenna and your
Thick skin
How about a little wind
In your perfect hair?
How about a little swim
In my ocean?……
I'm dreaming in and breathing in
The metaphoric air
Designed to get your faith in motion
Working in precision (on your)
Thick skin
Making an incision (in your)
Thick skin
Creating some division (in your)
Thick skin
Dropping words of wisdom (on your)
Thick skin
I've opened up a vein
And let the ink get out
It's dripping from the hand
I'm moving... ...
The mystery in
You and me
Is what it's all about
And true love is the scalpel
I've been using
