Song for Ted Sallis

[Verse 1]

Into the source of the squall

I inevitably fall

Toward the well-spring of all agony

Shuffling endlessly

Whether or not it was always going to be this way

It only mattered yesterday

[Refrain]

No skin like the skin you woke up in

No skin like the skin you woke up in

[Verse 2]

Up from the earth and the clay

Melting away

Never lose enough to find my form

Trudge through the storm

Wait in hope

For some as yet undiscovered isotope

[Refrain]

No skin like the skin you woke up in

No skin like the skin you woke up in

[Bridge]

When at last

The die gets cast

Read the numbers out loud

With your head bowed

Try to find a face to focus on

But the memory’s gone

Wherever my former self went

It was an accident

Try to picture him in my mind’s eye

Say goodbye

[Refrain]

No skin like the skin you woke up in

No skin like the skin you woke up in
