Scissor Sisters - The Skins
You are subject to inspections
Those are not your lips
Have you been kissed by a computer?
Are you able to move your hips?
It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, can you see them?
We cling to our skin
Is it true, are you changing?
If so, I won't come in
Are you going to be so different?
There's a world without skin
It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, can you see them?
We cling to our skin
Randy Perkins, where are you now?
The age of innocence is dead
Legions of legends have shown us how
When you're ageing it's so hard to keep your head,
When you're ageing it's so hard to keep your head,
I'm not complaining it's so hard to keep my head,
When you're ageing it's so hard to keep your head.
It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, can you see them?
We cling to our skin.
