Skin O' My Teeth - Remastered 2012

I had wrists donning slits, flowing constantly

My broken body in a wreck and wrapped around a tree

A crosswalk hit-and-run, the finish line for me

People clutter in the gutter, take a look and see

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth

My blood flows through the streets, deluge from the wounds

Empty jars of sleeping pills on the dresser in my room

My wet-brained neighbor cranes his neck to see

In time, the white light's, a train bearing down on me

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth

I won't feel the hurt, I'm not trash any longer

That, that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger

I need a ride to the morgue, that's what 9-1-1 is for

So tag my toe and don't forget, ooh, to close the drawer

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth

No escaping pain, you belong to me

Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth
