Electric Six – Skin Traps lyrics

She's a lifestyle grinder
Ingesting crimewave sauce
And once you get behind her
You can write it off as a loss

She commands the minotaur
And she designs the maze
She's demanding more guitars
That sound like Purple Haze

Love lights stay up all nights
I murdered you
If you can't sing and dance for the man
You will be replaced by kids who can

I spent my youth spinning yarns
With the lady of the manor
Now everyone's avoiding me
Because I got the scanner

If you turn around I'll be behind you
I promise you
And if you feel yourself begin to snap
Falling into the skin trap

But when you go to shoot the messenger
It's like your sending your own message
To the person who sent the original message
Hey!

Her lies are password protected
And stored on backup drives
On the night her statue was erected
I broke out in hives

Love lights stay up all night
I'm feeling you
I've been famous for the last few days
But now I'm going away

If you turn around I'll be behind you
I promise you
And if you feel yourself begin to snap
Falling into the skin trap

She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin traps
Hey!
