Exoskeleton

How does anybody

Leave their cards on the table

For someone who has different coloured blood?

I'm a little backwards

So are these words when they stumble out

Can we pretend we're in a cartoon?

Where the stakes are low

Have you seen that show?

Nevermind

Roll the stone back from my tomb

Feel alive since I met you

You're the only one

Who didn't turn away

Found myself in Timbuktu

People ask why I look so blue

You're the only one

Who didn't stop and stare

Little by little

My optimism fills

As your ectoplasm drips in my cup

Little by little the tip of my tongue

Falls out of line

And your exoskeleton sheds

Can we turn off time?

Think you read my mind

Roll the stone back from my tomb

Feel alive since I met you

You're the only one

Who didn't turn away

Found myself in Timbuktu

People ask why I look so blue

You're the only one

Who didn't stop and stare

Gotta make my move

Gonna tie my shoes

And stride

Aaaaaah

Gonna take my time

'Cause I wanna get the words right

Ooooh words right

And I know it's overdue

You're the only one who can see me in the light

You're the only one who understands

Little by little I give you my love

Little by little I give you my love
