Lyrics
Skin Parade
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.
For Chrissakes, Charley
Send them your love
Pictures from happier times
When babies acted like babies
So did the grown-ups
The band played "We All Fall Down"
And some of us did...
Fly off the wheel
Travel highwired
There are movements necessary
Then there is unnecessary motion
It happens all the time
You can see it swim
In the skin parade
Where other objects move too
Right through you
To the other side
It is come alive!
It is come alive
In the skin parade
In the parade of skin
Celebrating this level
Of concrete movement
Wicked!
