I took a taxi down beside the water I kicked a stone out along the pier I saw the lighthouse keeper blowing out his candle And that's a sight every sailor fears We sing on through the sound of distant thunder Save the skin I'm in I'm trying to break that spell that I am under Save the skin I'm in Saw my reflection face down in the water Floating by my broken tambourine Well, they caught the preacher flirting with disaster Now the righteous can again be free We sing on through the sound of distant thunder Save the skin I'm in I let that devil make a fool of me Save the skin I'm in Somebody got to Save the skin I'm in (Somebody got to) save me now (Save me) somebody, please (Somebody got to) help me now (Save me) somebody please We sing on through the sound of distant thunder Save the skin I'm in I let that devil make a fool of me Save the skin I'm in Somebody got to Save the skin I'm in
