Someone Else’s Skin

[FRANK JR]
There's no phone booth, there's no cape
There's no Steve McQueen to help me make my great escape
How can I fly like a hero in the sky?
Be a shooting star out in the stratosphere

Where's the shadow? He might know
Where's that searchlight in the sky to point the way to go
Through some new cloud to disappear into the crowd
Though the future's dark, there's one thing crystal clear
That there's no home here

[JUDGE, spoken]
Son, listen to me. We just need a name - your mother or your father

[FRANK JR]
So many voices telling me to choose

[JUDGE, spoken]
It can get very expensive, people fighting over their children

[FRANK JR]
It's like a game where either team - I lose

[PAULA, spoken]
Nobody's fighting. Frankie, look at me. Nobody's fighting

[FRANK JR]
This kind of noise just makes me want to shout

[FRANK SR, spoken]
Frankie, just give 'em a name and this all'll be over. It's gonna be okay

[FRANK JR]
I'd like to buy a one-way ticket out

[PAULA, spoken]
My brave little soldier, do what you have to do

[FRANK JR]
Rules of the road say "Don't look back
Eyes straight ahead. Don't jump the track"
Try a new game

[FRANK SR, spoken]
I'm sorry, Frank

[FRANK JR]
And pray that I can win

[FRANK SR, spoken]
I've got no room to move here

[FRANK JR]
Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I'll slip down into someone else's skin

[COMPANY]
Whoo whoo
Whoo whoo

[FRANK JR]
I see the maps from every book I've read
The worlds that I have lived inside my head
I thought a love like theirs could never die
If it can fade away then so can I

At first you see me, then you don't
Don't look for me, you know I won't even be there
So let the games begin
Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I'll slip down into someone else's skin

[COMPANY]
Whoo whoo

[FRANK JR]
Into someone else's skin, yeah

[COMPANY]
Whoo whoo

[FRANK JR & COMPANY]
I'm gonna run down the street, run out of town
I'm gonna run from the whole team and never touch down
Run from the books cause it's all been a fake

[FRANK JR]
I'm gonna run from the choices that I don't wanna make
School's not out but I can't wait
It's the perfect time to graduate today

[FRANK JR]
I've gotta run away now

[COMPANY]
Whoo whoo

[FRANK JR]
I've got to run away, oh yeah yeah

[COMPANY]
Whoo whoo

[FRANK JR]
I know they'll see the truth when I move on
They'll need each other much more once I'm gone
And then I'm flush and he's back on his feet
I'll pick him up and ride down easy street

No time to cry for all the years
A rusty gas tank full of tears gets you nowhere
Not the places I want in

And I just don't feel at home in mine
So I'll slip down into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin yeaaah
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
