Skin tight

Second hand skin

Have you ever had one of those days

Where you want to rip off your own skin

And take a nap in your own flesh

Skin slipper they would call you

And you would be special for that moment

Maybe even wrap yourself up in your flesh

And do a little turn in it like you were showing

The runway in gay Paris where they all twirl

Then afterwards you could shed your skin like water

And have a party where everyone tried to guess

Who was who by the skins they through on

What would you win in a contest like that

And after all that trouble what if you were to find

The skin walker wearing your skin didn’t want to give it back

Where would you go then you would  be the talk of the town

Would you slip skinless to the second hand store to buy a new set

A new set to you you second hand skin walker

Would you then regret your decision or would you put it off

 Like it could happen to anyone you just got a little over your head

That’s it…just got a little over your head
