1
Maybe we're nothing but skin and bone
2
Blare and rubber, eyes that blubber
3
Teeth that bite, hands that slide
4
And I'm trying to do the best I can
5
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
6
7
Maybe we're nothing but skin and bone
8
Nerves that shatter, tongues that flatter
9
Lips that mutter, lashes that flutter
10
Mounds of dust and lips of ripe
11
Twice as vicious as the words I type
12
Under a ribbon of every stripe
13
14
There's a grip that tightens, a dark that frightens
15
A wise that crackles, a fear that shackles
16
And I'm trying to do the best I can
17
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
18
19
And then that kinder creation
20
Becomes a fine fixation
21
All of a sudden
22
With the parts we've hidden
23
Because they are forbidden
24
25
Beneath a hide of pain, you'll find a soul of stain
26
While fists still beat, at heart's deceit
27
And I'm trying to do the best I can
28
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
29
30
Maybe with nothing but a drum and drone
31
I want to beat it 'til I get unknown
32
Pig some skin, stretch it tight
33
Make myself up overnight
34
35
Maybe this is nothing but drum and drone
36
Wanna beat it 'til I get unknown
37
Dig my pin, kick up some stink
38
Find myself a brand new kink
39
40
Prick that berry and squeeze this ink
41
Scratch out all of the words I think
42
Before your very eyes can blink
43
And I'm trying to do the best I can
44
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
