Lyrics

The Body

The body (the body)

Haunches stretched (haunches stretched)

Skin stretched taut (skin stretched taut)

No one’s fault (no one’s fault)

Branches out (branches out)

Looks back in (looks back in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)

No one is (no one is)

Body talk (body talk)

Skin stretched in (skin stretched in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)

No one in (no one in)

Branches out (branches out)

No one about (no one about)

Looks back in (looks back in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)

The body (the body)

Haunches stretched (haunches stretched)

Skin stretched taut (skin stretched taut)

No one’s fault (no one’s fault)

Branches out (branches out)

Looks back in (looks back in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)

No one is (no one is)

Body talk (body talk)

Skin stretched in (skin stretched in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)

No one in (no one in)

Branches out (branches out)

No one about (no one about)

Looks back in (looks back in)

Locks her skin (locks her skin)
