Naked (But Still Stripping) - D-A-D

My tongue’s tied and sliced in two

And wagging at both ends…

Yeah, I’ve learned to talk —

Both sides of my mouth makes sense

You’ll see the skin of my teeth

But you won’t see a smile

So here it is, the big truth

Hiding in the little lie…

My throw decides my aim

And with a phony voice

— Unserious to the end

As if I had a choice…

Here’s my heart;

my hope’s drowning

Here’s my eyes;

the light is blinding

Here’s my hands;

my feet are running

Here’s my head;

my ass' coming … yeah!

I’m naked but still stripping.

Luxury tends to be the same every day

But I know misery’s for each in his own way.

I count on amputated fingers who I call a friend

The end is hard when brought about

By what you thought made sense…

My throw decides my aim and with a phony voice

— Unserious to the end as if I had a choice…

Here’s my heart;

my hope’s drowning

Here’s my eyes;

the light is blinding

Here’s my hands;

my feet are running

Here’s my head;

my ass' coming — yeah!

I’m naked — but still stripping.

Some people live so close

To their bones;

with just themselves to be

But I run around;

inside myself

— Like something’s after me

I take off my skin

Underneath there’s nothing

Everything’s gone … A naked skeleton!

Piece of an arm piece of a leg

A piece of my tongue

And peace for everyone…

Here’s my heart;

my hope’s drowning

Here’s my eyes;

the light is blinding

Here’s my hands;

my feet are running

Here’s my head;

my ass' coming … yeah!
