Skin Game

Knowing what I know

I'm never free to come and go

But when I try to open doors

I burn when daylight hits the floor

Playing the skin game

Breathing the blue flame

Playing the skin game

In sight, insane

Knowing what I know

I've been looking for a space to grow

And maybe I can set you free

Yes maybe I can set you free

Playing the skin game

Breathing the blue flame

Playing the skin game

In sight, insane

I'm content to live in the vacuum I have made

A comfortable existence on my own

The problems of the world are there for others to debate

I prefer to face my days alone!

Kneeling down before I sleep

Never said a prayer that I believed

One day you'll understand

Why have I become this way?

Maybe it's another quirk of fate

Yielding to my DNA

Try to live on my own

Reborn once more as a whisper on the telephone

Unafraid of it all

Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call!

Now I'm living alone

And all I am is a whisper on the telephone

Making sense of it all

Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call!
