Skin

Boy

All day long she's waiting
for the night to ask her out
To be somebody's dancer,
to get lost inside a crowd
There's no need to talk,
because the music is so loud
Till a taxi drops her back,
into a morning full of doubts

You can feel like a part of
something if you're
part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty
out a little ice and gin
Wash of the make-up
and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of
this party dress but you
can't get out of this skin

His home is where his heart is
at the parties that he rolls
He tells himself he can't be lonely
cause he's never on his own
And all the friends he makes at night,
in the morning they are gone
And he's left with his four walls,
his aching head, his silent phone

You can feel like a part of
something if you're
part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty
out a little ice and gin
Wash of the make-up
and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of
this party dress but you
can't get out of this skin

Hearing your own echos in the empty staircase
And you're walking through your dark apartment looking for a friendly face
Because the polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, the polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, the polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, they won't do

You can feel like a part of
something if you're
part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty
out a little ice and gin
Wash of the make-up
and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of
this party dress but you
can't get out of this

All day long she's waiting
for the night to ask her out
To be somebody's dancer,
just to pop it in the crowd
And how to move her feet
It's all she has to think about
Till a taxi drops her back,
into a morning full of doubts

You can feel like a part of
something if you're
part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty
out a little ice and gin
Wash of the make-up
and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of
this party dress but you
can't get out of feeling 
like you are part of something 
if you're part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty
out a little ice and gin
Wash of the make-up
and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of
this party dress but you
can't get out of this skin
