BUCKSKIN WALL (Leger). . The searchers are restless. When you put up your buckskin wall. They don't want your body. They just want your naked talk. You're so cool.

Gotta funny way of saying she's leaving. Like everywhere is just an open door. Gotta funny way of saying she hates me. Has me hollering for more. . Sick and tired every night.
