Lyrics

Just a speck
In the mirror
On a light blue afternoon
And that speck's
Getting bigger
It’ll be a big speck soon
On a light blue afternoon
It's been coming all your life
And there's no derailing destiny
She’s a single-minded girl

When you were
Just a baby
They put a weapon in your hand
You grew long
You grew lazy
You cast a shadow in the sand
On a light blue afternoon
Have you any idea how it feels to be cut down?

If you were not
So aggressive
I'd feel pity in my arm..
Chair rage is so possessive
I just don't know where to start
On a light blue afternoon
And i don't know where i am with you
There's no safety in your eye
But the skin is soft
(but the skin is soft)
The skin is soft alright
(the skin is soft alright)
But the skin is soft
(but the skin is soft)
The skin is soft alright
(the skin is soft alright)
But the skin is soft
(but the skin is soft)
The skin is soft alright
(the skin is soft alright)
But the skin is soft
(but the skin is soft)
The skin is soft alright
(the skin is soft alright)
