《Shed Some Skin》歌词

[00:00:00] Shed Some Skin - Slow Gherkin

[00:00:22] It's Christmas Day in gay Paris

[00:00:27] Not so gay for Galen Z

[00:00:31] Sixteen hours in a sweaty kitchen

[00:00:36] For money that makes

[00:00:37] Minimum wage look good

[00:00:41] 6 a m on the subway

[00:00:45] Stop station through the doorway

[00:00:50] Crowds of people

[00:00:51] Standing yelling screaming

[00:00:54] What's going on I must be dreaming

[00:01:00] And the city forgets

[00:01:02] They didn't even perceive

[00:01:05] And the trains keep blowing up

[00:01:06] Week after week

[00:01:29] Franzel's traveled wide and far

[00:01:34] Back from the U S S R

[00:01:38] Went there to pursue a lifelong calling

[00:01:42] You found only numb toes and helpless longing

[00:01:48] Now you're back at home today

[00:01:52] Back in the old USA

[00:01:57] Scoop up handfuls of your native dust

[00:02:01] And cross the country in a Greyhound bus

[00:02:07] Another failed attempt

[00:02:09] It's no use trying to pretend

[00:02:11] Now you're right back where you started again

[00:02:40] I saw what's wrong but I didn't see how

[00:02:49] I saw I saw

[00:02:52] We're all grown up now

[00:02:57] Today's your twentieth birthday

[00:03:01] Alone you walk the banks of Maine

[00:03:06] As time runs out to write the second verse of

[00:03:10] The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock

[00:03:15] While you're gone we'll be here still

[00:03:20] Just beyond those distant hills

[00:03:25] Could be that you got the upper hand

[00:03:29] When you left this rustic never-never land

[00:03:35] And my breathing constricts

[00:03:37] I feel the walls closing in

[00:03:39] Could it be that finally we're all

[00:03:41] Shedding some skin
