Skin Shed

Skin shed on the radio
And I’ve bled over telephone
(I know you’re scared)
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)
And I’ve bled over telephone
(c'mon and you’ll see)
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)
