One Skin

IF OUR LOVE WAS A TRAIN, IT WOULD BE A LONG ONE, IF OUR LOVE WAS A RIVER, IT WOULD BE A STRONG ONE.
AND WHEN THE KNIFE CUTS THROUGH OUR VEIN,
WE WILL FEEL NO PAIN, ONE SKIN FOREVER.
IF OUR LOVE WAS A PRAYER, IT WOULD BE OUR OWN ONE,
IF OUR LOVE WAS A PROMISE, IT WOULD BE A SOUL ONE. AND WHEN THE DAWN BREAKS THROUGH OUR PANE,
WE WILL PRAY FOR RAIN, ONE SKIN FOREVER.
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER,
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER TO BE WITH YOU,
NO TROUBLE CAN GET IN, A SHROUD TO BREAK THE BITTER COLD, OUR FIRE IT BURNS WITHIN, ONE SKIN FOREVER.
AND WHEN THE NORTHBOUND PLANE HAS FLOWN,
NEVER GONNA BE ALONE, LATE NIGHT TELEPHONE,
MAKING LOVE IN CONVERSATION, TALKING ‘BOUT THE SITUATION, ALL OUR DREAMS, TO COME TRUE, BABY,
JUST ME AND YOU, ONE SKIN FOREVER.
AND WHEN THE LAST BRICK HITS THE GROUND,
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN,
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER,
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER,
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER,
ONE SKIN FOREVER, ONE SKIN FOREVER
ONE SKIN FOREVER IN TO LOVE YOU.

DO YOU RECALL THE MOMENT,
YOU GAVE YOUR HEART AWAY,
TO THE DEMON'S AND THEIR FIRE,
A LIFE OF HELL TO PAY.
IN THE DARKEST DAYS YOU FOUND,
BLOOD SPILLED FROM THE FIGHT,
TRIED TO FIND CONVICTION,
A MAN WHO COULD TREAT YOU RIGHT
.
JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, NEVER ONE IN A MILLION, JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN.
GUARDED A VAIN ADDICTION,
PICKED HIM UP OUT OF THE MUD,
ONLY ASKED FOR A LITTLE CONVICTION,
SHOW ME WHO DO YOU LOVE.
CAUSE' I'M TIED UP WITH YOU RIGHT NOW,
AND I'M WISHIN' MAYBE YOU'LL SEE,
WHEN A SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON A HEART YOU CAN HAVE, YOU'LL GET THE BEST OUT OF ME.
JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, NEVER ONE IN A MILLION, JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN.
AND AS THE YEARS GO BY AND I'M STILL OUTSIDE,
WIPING THE DUST FROM MY EYES.
BREAK MY HEART AGAIN,
T'S HIDDEN EVERYTHING'S FINE.
WHEN YOUR FIRE RAGES INTO OUR ROOM,
PLEASE LOCK THE DOOR THIS TIME.
CAUSE' LITTLE EARS HEED ALL THAT YOU DO,
I'LL TAKE THIS ONE FOR THE SIDE,
PLEASE REALISE WHILE HE'S STILL ALIVE
YOUR REFLECTION IS STARING AT YOU.
JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, NEVER ONE IN A MILLION, JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN.
JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN, NEVER ONE IN A MILLION, JUST ANOTHER WOMAN DOWN

BLACK CIRCLES ‘ROUND MY EYES TODAY,
HELP ME TO LEARN BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE.
MY HEAD IS HARD IT’S WORN A FEW,
TO HIT THE CLOUDS COULD TAKE A LEAP OR TWO.
WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO US,
WITHOUT YOU EVERYTHING IS DEAD,
WITHOUT YOU I’M A CAT IN THE RAIN,
WITHOUT YOU THERE’S RUST ON THE CHAIN.
I’VE THROWN BAD SEEDS TO THE GROUND,
WATCHED PAIN GROW NEVER CUT IT DOWN.
STRUNG HIGH GOOD DOGS TO THE WIRE,
CUT THEIR THROATS AND THREW ‘EM TO THE FIRE.
WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO US,
WITHOUT YOU EVERYTHING IS DEAD,
WITHOUT YOU I’M A CAT IN THE RAIN,
WITHOUT YOU THERE’S RUST ON THE CHAIN.
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU I MUST SAY, THAT EVERYTHING I WANT SO BADLY, DRIFTS AWAY.
YOUR HEADLIGHTS SHININ’ BLIND MY EYES,
SHADOWS HIDE MY TRUTH SOMETIMES.
THE OUTLINE OF YOUR PRECIOUS HEART,
STARTS TO FADE WHEN IT TURNS SO DARK.
WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO US,
WITHOUT YOU EVERYTHING IS DEAD,
WITHOUT YOU I’M A CAT IN THE RAIN,
WITHOUT YOU THERE’S RUST ON THE CHAIN
.
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU,
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU
THERE’S RUST ON THE CHAIN,
WITHOUT YOU THERE’S RUST ON THE CHAIN.

Livin' The Dream
03:20

THE FIREWEED’S GROWIN’ IN THE PADDOCK NEXT DOOR AND IT’S OUT OF CONTROL, THE RAIN IS A TUMBLIN’, THE DOGS ARE A SCRATCHIN’ AND THE ROOSTER CROWS.
MY CIGARETTE’S BURNIN‘, THE MEATS BEEN TURNIN’ AND MY COFFEE HAS GONE COLD, THE OLD MAN’S CALLIN’ AND HIS HOPES ARE HIGH, BETTER MAKE A GOOD SHOW.
HERE‘S NO HOT WATER FOR MY SHOWER IN THE MORNIN’ AND I’M FEELIN’ OH SO LOW, THERE’S ANTS IN THE CEREAL, THE KID IS CROOK, IT’S OFF TO WORK I GO.
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SCENE, FROM MY MOVIE SCREEN,
I’M LIVIN’ THE DREAM.
THE QUAD IS RUSTED, THE RIDE ON’S BUSTED AND THE GRASS IS GETTING HIGH, THE BANK IS A CALLIN‘, GOTTA KEEP ON STALLIN’, ‘CAUSE THE INTEREST RUNS ME DRY.
THE BOARDS NEED PAINTIN’, THE INSIDE‘S DATIN’, AND THE SWIMMIN’ POOL IS GREEN, THE SEPTIC’S OVERFLOWIN’, THE BULBS KEEP A BLOWIN’, AND THE NEIGHBOUR’S OLD AND MEAN. THE SPRINGS ARE SAGGIN’, MY ARSE IS DRAGGIN’, AND MY BACK’S ABOUT TO BLOW, BUT I NEED A LITTLE MONEY, JUST TO STAY IN HEAVEN, SO IT’S OFF TO WORK I GO.
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SCENE FROM MY MOVIE SCREEN,
I’M LIVIN’ THE DREAM.
THE GRAMMAS ARE ROTTEN, THE WATERMELON’S WHITE AND THE MANGO TREE’S ON LEAVE, THE DRAKES ARE FIGHTING, AND JESUS IS FRIGHTENED, ‘CAUSE THE HAMMER‘S UP MY SLEEVE. THE FISH AIN’T BITIN’, THE STOVE AIN’T A LIGHTIN’, AND I’VE LOST MY FAITH IN GOD, THE KID’S ROOM’S DIRTY, AND MUMMA’S GETTIN’ SHIRTY, I LOST MY CATTLE PROD.
NOW LIFE ON THE FARM, HAS TAKEN MY ARM, AND IT WANTS MY LEGS AS WELL, AND IT’S A KINDA’ FUNNY WHEN YOU PAY A LOT OF MONEY, FOR HEAVEN TO LOOK LIKE HELL.
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SCENE, FROM MY MOVIE SCREEN,
I’M LIVIN’ THE DREAM, I’M LIVIN’ THE DREAM,
I’M LIVIN’ THE DREAM.

THE PICTURE IS YOURS TO KEEP, STARE AT IT LONG AND DEEP, COLOURS ARE FADING, SURE AND FAST.
I KNOW YOU’VE SPENT A WHILE, I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE,
OF THE FENCE, I’M LOOKING OVER, PRIDE ‘FORE A FALL.
WIND BACK THE CLOCK, STAY IN YOUR BED, TURN OFF THE PHONE, THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD, THEY AIN’T GONNA LOVE YOU, WHEN YOUR CURTAIN COMES DOWN. WON’T SHED A TEAR, AT RIGOLETTO’S BREAKDOWN, WON’T SHED A TEAR, AT RIGOLETTO’S BREAKDOWN.

MY BABY LIKES TO WORK ON TIME,
SHE HITS THE GATE, AT HALF PAST NINE, SHE'S RUNNIN' LATE
MY BABY'S GOT THE COMPANY CAR, AIN'T MUCH JUICE,
BUT IT'S NOT THAT FAR, SHE PAYS FOR THAT
AND WHEN SHE'S GONE, I FEEL SO ALONE,
WHEN SHE'S GONE, I CAN'T TURN A STONE.
T'S MERCENARY, I WANT HER HERE ALONE,
I MISS THOSE PUPPIES, NOW I WANT THE WHOLE DAMN DOG
MY BABY LIKE TO WORK REAL HARD,
HE LIKES TO GO THE EXTRA YARD, ALL IN GOOD FAITH.
MY BABY LIKES TO SEPARATE, SAND FROM CLAY, GOLD AND SLATE, SHE NEEDS A BREAK.
AND WHEN SHE'S GONE, I FEEL SO ALONE,
WHEN SHE'S GONE, I CAN'T TURN A STONE.
IT'S MERCENARY, I WANT HER HERE ALONE,
I MISS THOSE PUPPIES, NOW I WANT THE WHOLE DAMN DOG.
MY BABY LIKE TO SEE IT THROUGH,
SHE'S GOT A HAND WITH A CHIP OR TWO, SHE NEEDS TO GO.
MY BABY'S GOT A CORPORATE HAT, SHE PUTS IT ON WHEN THE BIG WIGS CHAT, SHE GETS HER WAY.
AND WHEN SHE'S GONE, I FEEL SO ALONE,
WHEN SHE'S GONE, I CAN'T TURN A STONE.
IT'S MERCENARY, I WANT HER HERE ALONE,
I MISS THOSE PUPPIES, NOW I WANT THE WHOLE DAMN DOG

HOLD ME NOW, HOLD ME NOW,
HOLD ME ‘TIL THE MORNING COMES,
WE HAVE BEEN, WITHOUT LOVE,
FOR WAY TOO LONG.
TAKE ME NOW, TAKE ME I’M STILL GOOD,
LOVE ME LIKE NO OTHER EVER COULD,
ROLL WITH ME AND I WILL ROCK WITH YOU,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM.
I HAVE FOUND, TRUST IN YOU,
SOMEONE TO KEEP THESE FEET UPON THE GROUND,
TWO FINE HEARTS, BEEN KEPT DOWN,
SEARCHING FOR THE REASON TO BELONG.
TAKE ME NOW, TAKE ME I’M STILL GOOD,
LOVE ME LIKE NO OTHER EVER COULD,
ROLL WITH ME AND I WILL ROCK WITH YOU,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM.
FIND THE CHILDHOOD BRANCH,
ON THE OLDEST TREE,
SWAY WITH ME, SWAY WITH ME.
BELIEVE IN ME, BELIEVE IN ME,
BELIEVE IN ME AND I WILL STAY AROUND,
NO COMPLICATION, NO AIR AND GRACE,
JUST KEEP THAT SMILE UPON YOUR PRETTY FACE.
TAKE ME NOW, TAKE ME I’M STILL GOOD,
LOVE ME LIKE NO OTHER EVER COULD
ROLL WITH ME AND I WILL ROCK WITH YOU,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM,
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF BOOM.

WHY DID YOU FOLLOW, A VOICE IN A ROOM,
HOW DID YOU KNOW, HE WAS THE ONE TO LOVE,
STOOD THERE ALONE, HOPING HE’D SEE YOU THERE,
GAVE HIM A SMILE, GAVE HIM THE STARE.
YOU DISAPPEARED, SCARED TO BE RECOGNISED,
TREMBLING WITH FEAR, THOUGHT HE COULD BE THE ONE.
TO LIGHT IT UP, KNOCK ‘EM DOWN,
CROSS THE RIP WHERE THE LAST ONE DROWNED, TAKE YOU DEEP, WALK ON THE BED,
WADE THE WEEDS TRAPPED IN YOUR HEAD,
MAKE YOU SOUND, ON HIGHER GROUND,
WHEN IT’S HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE.
WHY DID YOU COLLAR, THIS CYBERSPACE COWBOY,
HOW DID YOU TURN, SCRIPT INTO REAL LOVE.
MAYBE YOU WANTED, MIND OVER MATTER,
MAYBE YOU GAVE, A WINDOW TO SHATTER.
YOU DISAPPEARED, SCARED TO BE RECOGNISED,
TREMBLING WITH FEAR, THOUGHT HE COULD BE THE ONE
TO LIGHT IT UP, KNOCK ‘EM DOWN,
CROSS THE RIP WHERE THE LAST ONE DROWNED, TAKE YOU DEEP, WALK ON THE BED,
WADE THE WEEDS TRAPPED IN YOUR HEAD,
MAKE YOU SOUND, ON HIGHER GROUND,
WHEN IT’S HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE.
A LITTLE BOAT TO DRIFT ON YOUR RIVER OF LIFE,
SOMEONE TO HEAL EVERY LITTLE SLICE,
A FLARE TO SHOOT INTO YOUR DARKEST NIGHT,
SOMEONE TO TREAT YOU RIGHT,
WHEN IT’S HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE.
LIGHT IT UP, KNOCK ‘EM DOWN,
CROSS THE RIP WHERE THE LAST ONE DROWNED, TAKE YOU DEEP, WALK ON THE BED,
WADE THE WEEDS TRAPPED IN YOUR HEAD,
MAKE YOU SOUND, ON HIGHER GROUND,
WHEN IT’S HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE, HIGHTIDE.
