Disappearing Skin Tight Blues

Lyrics

I'm livin' above the fault line
 Like a bird up on a wire
 I come in from the cold at night
 And I stand next to the fire
 Now, most times I can win one
 but someday I could lose
 Then I'll have to start all over again
 And shake off all these blues
 'Cause you tore down all the fences
 And you put me in the clear
 Then I left my old skin behind
 And I started to disappear
 Now there's something in the kitchen
 And it's cookin' mighty fine
 There's a good one in the oven
 And I'm sure gonna get in line
 In the interest of my nutrition
 I'm about to take the plunge
 I'm gonna take the whole thing in
 And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge
 Need a map with new direction
 And a compass for the turn
 Then I'll take that drink of water
 and let the old one burn
 Oh, how you move me,
 You turn me 'round
 Nothing to hold me down
 Just like a magnet
 You pull me in
 Got my instant reservation
 When I'm feelin' empty
 You make me full
 More love than I'll ever hold
 You touch me right
 where my heart is dull
 I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
 I open the box and look inside
 And I don't like what I see
 I turn the key and take a ride
 In a wind that's blowin' free
 In the interest of my education
 I'm about to read the book
 Then I'll open my eyes in the morning
 And I'll take another look
 Need a map with new directions
 And a compass for the turn
 Then I'll take that drink of water
 and let the old one burn
 Oh, how you move me,
 You turn me 'round
 Nothing to hold me down
 Just like a magnet
 You pull me in
 Got my instant reservation
 When I'm feelin' empty
 You make me full
 More love than I'll ever hold
 You touch me right
 where my heart is dull
 I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
 (instrumental)
 Oh, how you move me,
 You turn me 'round
 Nothing to hold me down
 Just like a magnet
 You pull me in
 Got my instant reservation
 When I'm feelin' empty
 You make me full
 More love than I'll ever hold
 You touch me right
 where my heart is dull
 I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
 (instrumental to fade out)
