MY SKIN
sick boy got healed
when he learned to steal
he said it made him feel
born again
and the band cranked up
like a change of luck
when I learned to love
my skin
my dirty old friend
I confess my sin
I wanta touch it again

hey the police came around
tried to burn me down
but they never have found
my skin
what they can't understand
what got me high again
that ain't contraband
it's my skin
my dirty old friend
I confess my sin
I wanta touch it again

(chorus)
it's the push and the shove
and the sheriff's thugs
and the sheriff's drugs
I'll rise above
because I learned to love
my skin

it's a stupid love song
but you still sing along
because you'd rather be wrong
than shed that skin
it's a tough kick drum
and a soulful strum
lyrics tattooed on
my skin
my dirty old friend
I confess my sin
I wanta touch it again

(chorus)

it's my temple my stage
my blank book page
and I sure wanta save
my skin
