Kansas - Disappearing Skin Tight Blues lyrics

I'm livin' above the fault line Like a bird up on a wire I come in from the cold at night And I stand next to the fire Now, most times I can win one but someday I could lose Then I'll have to start all over again And shake off all these blues 'Cause you tore down all the fences And you put me in the clear Then I left my old skin behind And I started to disappear Now there's something in the kitchen And it's cookin' mighty fine There's a good one in the oven And I'm sure gonna get in line In the interest of my nutrition I'm about to take the plunge I'm gonna take the whole thing in And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge Need a map with new direction And a compa** for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear I open the box and look inside And I don't like what I see I turn the key and take a ride In a wind that's blowin' free In the interest of my education I'm about to read the book Then I'll open my eyes in the morning And I'll take another look Need a map with new directions And a compa** for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear [instrumental] Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear [instrumental to fade out]
