The Girl With No Skin

Have you heard the story
Of the girl with no skin?
She was born right here in town
A bloody mess of thoughts and feelings
The midwife dropped her almost-body down

The doctor said she has to stay for observation
(And secretly hoped he'll get to name the strange affliction)

And she thought
I have no skin
Who can tell
Where I end
And where I begin

They covered her in seaweed
To protect her from the world
Kept her as hidden as a mouse
Children walked just a little faster
When they passed by her house

They tried to sew on
Cow and human and pig skins
But none of them fit

(She whispered) I have no skin
Who can tell
Where I end
And where I begin

One day she scratched her cover off
And walked into the square
Naked in the sun
Everyone stared
They half expected her to melt
But she just laughed
And said

I have no skin
Who can tell
Where I end
And where I begin

Just look and you'll see
I am everything
And everything is me

I am everything
And everything is me

I have no skin
Who can tell where I end
And where I begin

I have no skin
Who could tell where I end
And where I begin
