"Second Skin" lyrics
"Second Skin"
One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through, someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasies are in this year
My whole life flashed, before my eyes
I thought, what they say is true
I've shed my skin and my disguise
And cold on the naked eye
Emerged from my cocoon
And a half-remembered tune
Played softly in my head, he said
He turns smiling
And he said
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on...
Air
Everywhere
Oh, it feels like I'm everywhere
Like when you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Oh, when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Oh, when you reach the point when you know
It's only your second skin
It's only your second skin
(Something's banging on my door)
Like when you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is (Someone's banging on my door)
Oh, when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is (Something's banging on my door)
Oh, when you reach the point when you know
It's only your second skin (Someone's banging on my door)
(Something's banging on my door)
(Someone's banging on my door)

The Smiths - "What Difference Does It Make?" All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still...
Echo & The Bunnymen - "The Cutter" Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives
What's in the bottom drawer
Waiting for things to give
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard
Conquering myself...
Killing Joke - "You'll Never Get To Me" Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain
And now the tide comes in again
Caught in a vicious cycle of despair
Give me the strength to face another day
Oh, sing a song of joy

It's gonna be my last
I hope it's gonna pass
I hope it won't last
Each drug I take
It's gonna be my last
I hope I don't fry
I hope I don't die
I have taken a vow
I have taken a vow...
