Bulletproof Skin Lyrics by Institute

Distort Yourself

2005

[Intro]
Cool to disappear, but
I missed you most days
An army of tattooed angels
Have brought me back today
[Verse 1]
I'm a waster boy, anti-masterplan
Been stuck inside this lonely room again
You get paranoid, see vultures circling
One slip, then down comes the final curtain
[Refrain]
Until you come into your soul again
We'll be the worst of best friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't feel like Christmas in Hollywood
Doesn't feel like we're ever going to make it home
[Chorus]
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need fast hands to deal with all the liars
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn
[Verse 2]
It's a waste of joy, I can hardly stand
Been looking for the ramp for my escape
I love animals so close to perfect
They're the only ones who seem to know their heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't feel like Christmas in Hollywood
Doesn't feel like we could ever come undone
[Chorus]
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need fast hands to deal with all the liars
Bulletproof skin to keep you alive
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn
[Post-Chorus]
I can't hold you
I can't hold you
I can't hold you
[Bridge]
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you—
[Chorus]
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need fast hands to deal with all the liars
Bulletproof skin to keep you alive
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn
[Post-Chorus]
I can't hold you
I can't hold you
I can't hold you
I can't hold you
