Skintrade Lyrics
Floodlight, Arizona / The fire trucks rush inDouble wide double bed / Specks of ceiling paint fall off the tinAnd they're standing by / Brow begins to moisten as you takeAnother hotshot to stiff you up / The room is spinning nowThat's it, man / Inhibitions fall by the waysideHappy man / You don't care what's happeningTo you now, it's all one big blur of lights and actionLater on, you find outYou've been had, you've been tricked, you're exposed, you've got itMade in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apartAnd the hole in your arm won't heal the pain you're feelingMade in the skin trade, darling / Every stitch of you has been revealedAnd there's nothing left to concealHemispheres so high and mighty / Velveteen and chalk delightYou've become the new obsession of everyone that you've caressedBut you can't tell who recognizes you / Can't tell who knows your faceCan't tell anything, can't tell anyone what you've done, you've got itMade in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apartAnd the hole in your arm won't heal the pain you're feelingMade in the skin trade, darling / Every stitch of you has been revealedAnd there's nothing left to conceal
