Silk Skin Paws Lyrics by Wire

1985-1990: The A List

0

[Verse 1]
You having nothing to fear
I'm just making enquiries
Dog bone hunting
Gives you back to yourself
Standing before me
The gargoyle turns
Jutting jaws and
The stubble burns

[Chorus]
I shift the blame
To the worm in the bottle
I shift the blame
To anyone standing before me

[Verse 2]
I check-up the once over
Give yourself an opening
Keep your mouth shut
In the event of an accident
Contact the following
A certain air
An invading smile
Inbreeding seals the flaw

[Chorus]
I shift the blame
To the worm in the bottle
I shift the blame
To anyone standing before me

[Verse 3]
Silk skin paws
Hang by both feet
Embracing the world
Hang the expense
Breugels cut corners
Wring out the senses
I have nothing like it
I've seen nothing like it

[Chorus]
I shift the blame
To the worm in the bottle
I shift the blame
To anyone standing before me
