Drum And Bone |
| Maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone |
| Blare and rubber |
| Eyes that blubber |
| Teeth that bite |
| Hands that slight |
| And I’m trying to do the best I can |
| But I’m a limited, primitive kind of man |
| Maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone |
| Nerves that shatter |
| Tongues that flatter |
| Lips that mutter |
| Lashes that flutter |
| Mounds of dust and lips of ripe |
| Twice as vicious |
| As the words I type |
| Under a ribbon |
| Of every stripe |
| There’s a grip that tightens |
| A dark that frightens |
| A wise that crackles |
| A fear that shackles |
| And I’m trying to do the best I can |
| But I’m a limited, primitive kind of man |
| And then that kinder creation |
| Becomes a fine fixation |
| All of a sudden |
| With the parts we’ve hidden |
| Because they are forbidden |
| Beneath a hide of pain |
| You’ll find a soul of stain |
| While fists still beat |
| At heart’s deceit |
| And I’m trying to do the best I can |
| But I’m a limited, primitive kind of man |
| Maybe with nothing but a drum and drone |
| I want to beat it 'til I get unknown |
| Pig some skin |
| Stretch it tight |
| Make myself up overnight |
| Maybe this is nothing but drum and drone |
| Wanna beat it 'til I get unknown |
| Dig my pin |
| Kick up some stink |
| Find myself a brand new kink |
| Prick that berry |
| And squeeze this ink |
| Scratch out all of the words I think |
| Before your very eyes can blink |
| And I’m trying to do the best I can |
| But I’m a limited, primitive kind of man |
