Skin On Skin Lyrics - Boomtown Rats

Skin on Skin 

Nothing more or less than 

Skin on skin 

I want to lick the sweat off 

Skin on skin 

But don't talk to me about right or wrong 

Skin on skin 

I want to cut in deep in 

Skin on skin 

I need to sink my teeth in 

Skin on skin 

But don't talk to me about right or wrong 

Skin on skin 

I want to crush your mouth 

And skin on skin 

I want to bruise your lips 

Tell me what do you know about right or wrong 

Skin on skin 

I want to scratch your flesh 

And skin on skin 

I need to scrape the bones of 

Skin on skin 

You can't teach me a thing about right or wrong 

London stops 

And everything's sweet 

You look out of your window 

But there's no street 

The cars are gone 

The night is dead 

And the dogs have lost their growl 

And the air seems stale 

Cos the lions caged 

It whimpers low 

but the beast has been tamed 

So where's the riot 

It's much too quiet 

And my breath taste like 

Rotten feet 

There's chatter from my window 

But it seems so dead 

And there's no one talking 

But some talking heads 

Yes, tonight we go to sleep 

With the lullabye sound of buildings falling down 

Hey d'ya hear the scratch of skin on skin 

Hey d'ya feel the scrape of bone on bone 

Things get tight, close to the bone 

We feel fragile tonight 

We don't like us much 

But we can stay warm at least for an hour or two 

Skin on skin 

I need to scratch and bleed it 

Skin on skin 

Just the touch and feel of 

Skin on skin 

We don't talk anymore about right or wrong 

Skin on skin 

I want to smell the stink of 

Skin on skin 

Hot in the summer heat and 

Skin on skin 

I never open my mouth about right or wrong
