Lyrics

Sing Along Now!

IMG_0275_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Something's growing on your toes, it's covering your knees and nose
It's stretching up and down your back, I have a creepy feeling that
It likes to breathe through sweaty pores, it feels so close, but wait there's more
It's wrapping all around your arms, is this cause to be alarmed

Stretching all around you very tightly holds you in
Skin... you and me have skin
You and me have
Epi Epi Epidermis Epi Epi Epidermis
That is what is on the surface
Nothing you need hide
Epi Epi Epidermis Epi Epi Epidermis
Skin is just a cover protecting what's inside

You'll never have a better skin, than the one you're living in
It's just your size dark or light, your birthday suit fits you just right
Everybody from the start is such a gorgeous work of art
Every freckle every pore is no one else's only yours

CHORUS:

It's waterproof, tailored well, a custom fit in every cell
Color comes to you and me from something called heredity
Black or red, brown or white any color's quite all right
We are all the same relation having different pigmentation
Color, it's color, underneath the skin you'll find
Our color is the same inside

(CHORUS)

Black or red, brown or white, Any color's quite alright

Skin
