Riff

(Noted as G*)

My heart is with you, its many dark corners

Its rings of smoke, its lighted hallways

And I wish you could know all the ghosts in my bones

They are weeping, they are screaming

They are inside my body

O, let’s trade skins

I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in

You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair

And think that it was fair

I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in

“I’m gonna build you,” she said, “I’m gonna heal you,

I can feel every part of you, that holds it together”

And you always looked so happy when you were sleeping

Sleep is the only way sometimes

 To live in a perfect world

It’s party time, quiet and sublime

Tonight there’s a party, a party of one

Like a wisp of smoke, solitary and thin

The heat’s coming off the fires we built

Stars were meant to shoot

And waves were meant to crash

 I’m hypnotized by the flicker, and saddened by the ash

 And it’s complicated with desires and dreams

With stiches and battle scars pulling apart at the seams

O, let’s trade skins

I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in

You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair

And think that it was fair

I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in

End on G
