  • I'll make a shoehorn outta your shin
    I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
    And, oh, don't you know that I'm always feeling able
    When I'm sitting home and I'm carving out your navel?
    I'm just a sitting here carving out your navel

    When will I realize that this skin I'm in? Hey, it isn't mine
    And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on?

    Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
    To complete one hell of a plant stand
    Oh, and don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
    Making rib cages into coffee tables?
    I'm just making em into coffee tables

    And when will I realize that this skin I'm in? Hey, it isn't mine
    And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore?

    Oh, because you know I can't hide but oh how hard I try
    But this is just the shape I'm in
    Although I know I can't hide but, oh, how hard I try
    But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah, oh yeah Writer/s: BRAD SMITH, CHRISTOPHER JOHN THORN, CHRISTOPHER THORN, GLEN GRAHAM, SHANNON HOON, THOMAS ROGERS STEVENS, THOMAS STEVENS
