"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
