Skin
The first time I met you
The veins on your neck
Were like lines on a map
And I fought them for purchase
All day and all night
With my hands on your back
And I finally emerged
Wounded and winded
And clenching your heart in my teeth
But the victory was brief
The next time I saw you
You were dressed for the dollhouse
All skin and fine lace
Your air permeated
With the smell of fresh laundry
And the hint of good taste
On the tip of my tongue
Your name was the song
I'd been singing all along
And last night you wore nothing but sweat and religion
And the smile of a sinner
Last night I wore nothing but the boredom, precision
And good looks of a killer
And under your skin, you are just like the dawn
Singing oh my god
The veins on your neck
Were like lines on a map
And I fought them for purchase
All day and all night
With my hands on your back
And I finally emerged
Wounded and winded
And clenching your heart in my teeth
But the victory was brief
The next time I saw you
You were dressed for the dollhouse
All skin and fine lace
Your air permeated
With the smell of fresh laundry
And the hint of good taste
On the tip of my tongue
Your name was the song
I'd been singing all along
And last night you wore nothing but sweat and religion
And the smile of a sinner
Last night I wore nothing but the boredom, precision
And good looks of a killer
And under your skin, you are just like the dawn
Singing oh my god
