Skintercourse Songtext
von Menomena

I fell in love with the feeling of being in love
I should have known it wouldn′t last
But I have the traits and the confident face of a man
And all the balm if I can't adapt
So I fell in love with the feeling of my own hands
Stretching back, letting go
I shed the skin that I slithered in for so long
I rubbed my stomach wrong


I can′t identify the source of my
Overarching need to pry under your skin
I guess it started all the way back when
You and I used to pretend we were just friends
Now I'm overlooked and undertouched
I overcompensated for such
And I can't get back to where I once was
I wish I′d been the one to come undone
To have and hold this magic wand over your head

I can′t identify the source of this
Overarching need to twist the knife in your skin
I guess it started once I realized
This life I once idealized has all gone to shit
Now I'm underdressed and over-touched
I didn′t think that I'd like it so much
And I won′t go back to where I once was
Thank god I was the one to come undone
Now I can hold this smoking gun over your head

I fell in love with the feeling of being in love
I should have known it wouldn't last
But I have the traits and the confident face of a man
And all the balm if I can′t adapt
