New Skins for Old Lyrics by Essra Mohawk

Essra Mohawk

1974

[Verse 1]
Can we doubt when we don an old animal skin
That is really a previous state we were in
After all, if a TV can change its station
Why not a soul, its next incarnation
Oh, ooh
Not to say that the soul is in charge of the change
For whatever is holy is largely the strange
But only because the unknown is unknown
Oh, how many skins has your own spirit grown?
[Chorus]
New skins for old (New skins for old)
New skins for old
Warm skins for warm skins
Or warm skins for cold
[Verse 2]
Can this theory be any more stranger to you?
Than the fact that each seven years trades old cells for new, uh
Maybe it's madness, and maybe it's true
That the fur coat you wear is the fur you once grew
[Chorus]
New cells for old (new cells for old)
New cells for old
Warm cells for warm cells
Or warm cells for cold
New skins, new skins, new skins for old
New skins for old
Warm skins for warm skins
Or warm skins for cold
