Skin shed on the radio And I've bled over telephone (I know you're scared) Skin shed, skin shed, skin shed on the radio (C'mon and cut me) And I've bled over telephone (C'mon and you'll see) What does this life leave unscathed And how much heartbreak can you take I peel my skin down to the bone I am no good when I'm alone Skin shed on the radio (C'mon and cut me) And I've bled over telephone (C'mon and you'll see) Living so much on a prayer The self dissipates in air Is my voice really this soft So ephemeral it's lost (I know it's hard) Skin shed on the radio (C'mon and cut me) I've bled over telephone (C'mon and you'll see) There's always something Stopping me From getting to you There's always something Stopping me From getting to you Skin shed on the radio (Just like Stevie said) And I've bled over telephone (Just like Nina Simone said) Skin shed on the radio (Just like Stevie said) And I've bled over telephone (Just like Nina Simone said)
