Phosphate Skin Lyrics - Son Volt

Everyone knows, ears to the ground 

The daily drag finds the Oakland sky 

Trench foot first and the spirit alive 

Feel for the dawn, find the unbroken sound 

It can only get better from here 

Don't have any fear 

The universal key turns the whole man to his kind 

Phosphate skin as the fall birds fly 

Evolution will make a mess out of you 

Tryin' to find love in the sewer of subterania 

It can only get better from here 

Don't have any fear 

The daily drag makes you stronger 

The daily drag makes you stronger 

Makes you stronger 

Ever been a witness, ruinous in the morning 

But the caged bird does sing a deeper blues 

Ever seen the road less traveled and wondered 

The best is with them, not with you 

Where you been? 

It can only get better from here 

Don't have any fear
