Skintrade Lyrics by Bob Mould

Skintrade Lyrics

    Floodlight, arizona / the fire trucks rush in
    Double wide double bed / specks of ceiling paint fall off the tin
    And they're standing by / brow begins to moisten as you take
    Another hotshot to stiff you up / the room is spinning now

    That's it, man / inhibitions fall by the wayside
    Happy man / you don't care what's happening
    To you now, it's all one big blur of lights and action
    Later on, you find out
    You've been had, you've been tricked, you're exposed, you've got it

    Made in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
    And the hole in your arm won't heal the pain you're feeling
    Made in the skin trade, darling / every stitch of you has been revealed
    And there's nothing left to conceal

    Hemispheres so high and mighty / velveteen and chalk delight
    You've become the new obsession of everyone that you've caressed
    But you can't tell who recognizes you / can't tell who knows your face
    Can't tell anything, can't tell anyone what you've done, you've got it

    Made in the skin trade with your heavy head and heart, you fall apart
    And the hole in your arm won't heal the pain you're feeling
    Made in the skin trade, darling / every stitch of you has been revealed
    And there's nothing left to conceal
