Claire's Birthday - Skin lyrics

All this time for getting dressed Just to make yourself a mess All this casual elegance For a chance or a glance No they don't appreciate You or your style they're all the same So why bother or hesitate It's getting late And they all wait As a dedicated follower of the fashion Baby you must see That whatever public demands or trends command Must be brought to thee So if it's skin they wanna see Take off your clothes and let them be All these gallons of perfume That you've poured all over you They won't help you here tonight They're all wild, out of line You are well-known for your pa**ion for fashion So here is your chance If you've got what it takes than tonight You might get to France So if it's flesh they wanna see Tear off your skin and let it be And they've made it very clear What it is that they want to see So if it's bones that they'd adore Would you have cuts for an encore
