1
Maybe we're nothing but skin and bone
2
Blare and rubber
3
Eyes that blubber
4
Teeth that bite
5
Hands that slight
6
Still I'm trying to do the best I can
7
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
8
Maybe we're nothing but skin and bone
9
Nerves that shatter
10
Tongues that flatter
11
Lips that mutter
12
Lashes that flutter
13
Mouths of dust and lips of ripe
14
Twice as vicious
15
As the words I type
16
Under a ribbon
17
Of every stripe
18
There's a grip that tightens
19
A dark that frightens
20
A wise that crackles
21
A fear that shackles
22
Yet I'm trying to do the best I can
23
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
24
And then that kinder creation
25
Becomes a fine fixation
26
All of sudden
27
With the parts we've hidden
28
Because they are forbidden
29
Beneath hide of pain
30
You'll find a soul of stain
31
While fists still beat
32
At heart's deceit
33
And I'm trying to do the best I can
34
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
35
Maybe this is nothing but a drum and drone
36
I want to beat it 'til I get unknown
37
Pig some skin
38
Stretch it tight
39
Make myself up overnight
40
Maybe I need nothing but a drum and bone
41
Going to beat it 'til I get unknown
42
Or dig my pin
43
Kick up some stink
44
Find myself a brand new kink
45
Prick that berry
46
And squeeze this ink
47
Scratch out all of the words I think
48
Before your very eyes can blink
49
Yes, I'm trying to do the best I can
50
But I'm a limited, primitive kind of man
