Vigilantes Of Love - Skin lyrics

now i'd seen him despondent a few times as of late sometimes the answer that love gives is the hardest one to take i know he was prone to paint the voice of his own fear so vincent he picked up the blade and he put it to his ear look at yourself in the mirror you're all rumpled red stubbled and gaunt you walk a dead end path in a dry corn field and now this morose response your princess she don't wanna see you no your princess she don't wanna hear so vincent he picked up the blade and he put it to his ear now look if you're gonna come around here and say those sort of things you gotta take a few on the chin you talking about love and all that stuff you better bring your thickest skin sometimes you can't please everyone sometimes you can't please anyone at all you sew your heart onto your sleeve and wait for the ax to fall you there with the paint box you there with paper and pen me i got this blunt instrument i'm gonna play on 'til the end and you know you come with empty hands or you don't come at all you deal your best hand out in the marketplace and let the chips fall the package it comes wrapped up there is a lesson here vincent he picked up the blade and he put it to his ear now look if you're gonna come around here and say those sort of things you gotta take a few on the chin yeah you're talking about sin and redemption well you better wear your thickest skin sometimes you can't please everyone sometimes you can't please anyone at all sew your heart onto your sleeve and wait for the ax to fall
