Peeling Out
Pretty Skinny
I just hope you don't get sick of me
It's what she said
And I told you, honest but brief
I'm just scared
How's it possible
We all have troubles
But yours seem to double up everyone else's
Images get jumbled
Messages get fumbled
In this way we're helpless
Yes, you are pretty, baby
Yes, you are skinny, baby
In a monopoly of my time
Please do your best not to do my job
It will be done
It will be done
In a society of high crime
You're the Corvette
That I'll drive until you break down
Don't walk away
Don't turn that page
No, don't you walk away
And the person to blame's always the same
What was your mother's name?
Yes, you are pretty, baby
Yes, you are skinny, baby
Can you smell the fight that's brewing?
Our insecurities doing
We're both right and both losing
And, yes, you're pretty
I'm sure it means less when you've tried all day
Yes you're skinny
Cast your lure from the side
You're not happy with the size of your forced compliment
