Bob Mould - Skintrade lyrics

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
