"Unlucky Skin / Built To Roam" lyrics
"Unlucky Skin / Built To Roam"
[Unlucky Skin]
Life tasted sweet when I was the bad twin
Devil himself sat waving me by
All of my tattoos
They were of no use
No monetary values have I
Ooh
Won't be long 'til I belong
Bird at my window tells me tomorrow
Mean old tornado carries me off
Pulls me from bed and bashes my head in
Buries me halfway across the globe
Ooh
Won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of this unlucky skin
Ooh, won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of that unlucky skin
Think of me often
Loosen my coffin
Let all the bugs in my wooden home
Ooh
Won't be long 'til I belong
Without all of this unlucky skin
[Built To Roam]
Ooh, this easy loving
It sure tastes good
Yeah, let's make a killing down
In Hollywood
Yeah, wander around
Like I've got some place to go
(Oh shit)
This is a moment in the song where I just fucked up
And I decided to let you guys know
So vibe-y, so mooded out...
Now it's just back to being a normal person at work, oh no!
Nah, I'm just kidding, fuck you guys
But do-
Rule number one: "Watch out"
'Cause here I come, bored and lazy
Yeah, here I come, no dignity
Yeah, so long sad city of angels
Oh, well, you know you ain't been very good to me
You take that blood right from my body
You lead me far away from home
Well, I've got to keep on moving
'Cause some of us, ooh
We were built to roam
So New York City, yeah
I'll see you soon, ooh
Well, go spend my money on some elbow room
Yeah, wander around
Like I've got some place fancy to go
I'm the king of Brooklyn
Ooh, for all she knows
So just sit back and watch me go
Bored and lazy, watch me go
Just passing through
Follow me beyond the mountain
Oh, go howl at the old big moon
Yeah, strip them clothes right from off your body
Dress your skin in sticks and stones
Well you've got to keep on moving
'Cause I was, yeah, I was
Some of us were built
Ooh, to roam
So get your travel on, (I) always recommend it
Hell, if I didn't take my own advice I wouldn't be here right now

And everyday it looks like rain
But I keep hoping for that sun
The streets are filled with demons
Lord that's never gonna change
But I still wanna be with...
Alabama Shakes - "Don't Wanna Fight" My lines, your lines
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my...
Spoon - "Inside Out" Time's gone inside out
Time gets distorted with
This intense gravity
I don't got time for holy rollers
Though they may wash my feet
And I won't be their soldier
There's intense gravity in you...
Beck - "Ride Lonesome (Remix)" Yesterday
Paper roses, they forgot to bloom
So walk away
Hang your head upon the hollow moon
You got to ride lonesome
You got to try to find the road
You got to cry a river
And follow it all the way...
