Song for Ted Sallis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Into the source of the squall
I inevitably fall
Toward the well-spring of all agony
Shuffling endlessly
Whether or not it was always going to be this way
It only mattered yesterday
[Refrain]
No skin like the skin you woke up in
No skin like the skin you woke up in
[Verse 2]
Up from the earth and the clay
Melting away
Never lose enough to find my form
Trudge through the storm
Wait in hope
For some as yet undiscovered isotope
[Refrain]
No skin like the skin you woke up in
No skin like the skin you woke up in
[Bridge]
When at last
The die gets cast
Read the numbers out loud
With your head bowed
Try to find a face to focus on
But the memory’s gone
Wherever my former self went
It was an accident
Try to picture him in my mind’s eye
Say goodbye
[Refrain]
No skin like the skin you woke up in
No skin like the skin you woke up in
