Unlucky Skin Lyrics
[Intro]
(Fuck)
[Verse 1]
Life tasted sweet when I was the bad twin
Devil himself sat waving me by
All of my tattoos, they were of no use
No monetary values have I
[Chorus]
Ooh, won't be long 'til I belong
[Verse 2]
Bird at my window tells me tomorrow
Mean old tornado carries me off
Pulls me from bed and bashes my head in
Buries me halfway across the globe
[Chorus]
Ooh, won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of this unlucky skin
[Chorus]
Ooh, won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of that unlucky skin
[Verse 3]
Think of me often, loosen my coffin
Let all the bugs in my wooden home
[Chorus]
Ooh, won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of this unlucky skin
