Bob Mould - Skintrade Lyrics
Floodlight, arizona / the fire trucks rush inDouble wide double bed / specks of ceiling paint fall off the tinAnd theyre standing by / brow begins to moisten as you takeAnother hotshot to stiff you up / the room is spinning nowThats it, man / inhibitions fall by the waysideHappy man / you dont care whats happeningTo you now, its all one big blur of lights and actionLater on, you find outYouve been had, youve been tricked, youre exposed, youve got itMade in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apartAnd the hole in your arm wont heal the pain youre feelingMade in the skin trade, darling / every stitch of you has been revealedAnd theres nothing left to concealHemispheres so high and mighty / velveteen and chalk delightYouve become the new obsession of everyone that youve caressedBut you cant tell who recognizes you / cant tell who knows your faceCant tell anything, cant tell anyone what youve done, youve got itMade in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apartAnd the hole in your arm wont heal the pain youre feelingMade in the skin trade, darling / every stitch of you has been revealedAnd theres nothing left to conceal
