Michael Stipe – I'll Give You My Skin lyrics

Well you
You can sit in your highchairs
Highchairs are for children
You can sit in your highchairs and laugh
I'll give you my best face
I'll give you my freedom
I'll give you my feet and my hands

I'm keeping my eyes
Open open open to the field
Hold your dances there
Take the crop
Share the yield

You can join us together
Break us apart
A wound in the skin is a break in the heart
You can coast on your laughter
High shelf your heart
But laughter's for healing
Not tearing apart

I'm keeping my eyes
Open to the fields
You can hold your dances there
Take the crop
Share the yield

Not a soul is lost
But collapse in the walls
You can dance in the dust
You can walk it off walk walk it off
If you're falling you're falling
Come calling to me
Falling falling
I'll give you my skin
I will give you my skin
I'm keeping my eyes
Open to the field

(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
You can hold your dances here
(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
Take the crop, share the yield
(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
I'm keeping my eyes
(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
Open to the field
(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
Hold your dances there
(If you're falling you're falling come calling to me)
Take the crop share the yield

If you're falling you're falling come calling to me [Repeat: x3]
I will give you my skin
