Skintrade

Floodlight, Arizona
The fire trucks rush in
Double wide double bed
Specks of ceiling paint fall off the tin
And they're standing by

Brow begins to moisten as you take
Another hotshot to stiff you up
The room is spinning now

That's it, man
Inhibitions fall by the wayside
Happy man

You don't care what's happening
To you now,

it's all one big blur of lights and action

Later on, you find out
You've been had,
you've been tricked,
you're exposed,
you've got it

Made in the skin trade with your
heavy head and heart, you fall apart

And the hole in your arm
won't heal the pain you're feeling
Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal




Hemispheres so high and mighty
Velveteen and chalk delight
You've become the new obsession
of everyone that you've caressed
But you can't tell who recognizes you

Can't tell who knows your face
Can't tell anything,
can't tell anyone what you've done,
you've got it
Made in the skin trade with your
heavy head and heart, you fall apart
And the hole in your arm
won't heal the pain you're feeling

Made in the skin trade, darling
Every stitch of you has been revealed
And there's nothing left to conceal
