Naked (But Still Stripping)

(アルバム： Helpyourselfish - 1995)

My tongue's tied and sliced in two
And wagging at both ends
Yeah, I've learned to talk
Both sides of my mouth makes sense
You'll see the skin of my teeth
But you won't see a smile
So here it is, the big truth
Hiding in the little lie
My throw decides my aim
And with a phony voice
Unserious to the end
As if I had a choice

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming... yeah
I'm naked but still stripping

Luxury tends to be the same every day
But I know misery's for each in his own way
I count on amputated fingers who I call a friend
The end is hard when brought about
By what you thought made sense
My throw decides my aim
And with a phony voice
Unserious to the end
As if I had a choice

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming... yeah
I'm naked but still stripping

Some people live so close
To their bones; with just themselves to be
But I run around; inside myself
Like something's after me
I take off my skin
Underneath there's nothing
Everything's gone... a naked skeleton
Piece of an arm piece of a leg
A piece of my tongue
And peace for everyone

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming... yeah
