My life was free of friction I needed a new addiction But every drug I tried Left me paranoid And I was feeling apprehensive 'Cause my tastes are so expensive And while I sighed inside I was never satisfied Till I got drunk on skin Now I'm drunk on skin Yeah skin is in I'm drunk on skin Thank God that skin is in I was tired of party tricks I was ready for a fix To ease my melancholy With something more than folly I needed an elixir Like Kansas needed a twister Every stabbing pain Soon became inane Till I got drunk on skin Try not to stare When all is laid bare Shed every layer You wear I was feeling past my prime I'd lost my taste for wine The only thoughts I'd muster Seemed jaded and lackluster So hopeless and bucolic Like a plateaued alcoholic Then came a warm breeze That knocked me to my knees When I got drunk on skin
