how to look naked

i have seen people bleed

and i thought i'd seen it all

but my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day

there are things that i've done

only seen by the sun

and those things will be buried in my grave

the crows and buzzards will pick your bones clean

no name of yours will be upon the wall

hold tight on halloween

and rape by magazines

we line up on the edge to watch you fall

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows

you took to the land

like fishes take to sand

you clambered up your cross to raise your flag

made tissue paper sales

used thread instead of nails

your autograph was carved across your back

we thought that you were done

but then you grabbed your gun

you pushed and fought and ran full speed ahead

you turned for the hill

we cannot find you still

we hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows

won't stop now

if you know

what? oh!

we hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy

with a stomach full of blood you'll find the ground

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows

no one knows

you don't take off your clothes

no one knows
