The Girl With the Backward Skin Lyrics

Sail on green leaf,
Go float on by,
Ten year old,
Insideout eyes,

I know what you see,
I know what you dream,
You dream and you see
To be out on a leaf,
Your leaf is a boat,
You glide and you float,
Right down to the stream,
Where your real friends would be.

What would be sweet, you tuck me in,
But who will love insideout skin?

They said it was good that someone could
By having no colour be one or the other,
My mum and my dad were gone in a year,
Sometimes when you're strange,
Some things are so clear.

I dont want to be strange
I just want to be hugged,
I dont want to be special,
I just want to be loved.
Everybody's my friend
Till they get tired and then
Freakshow, close your gate,
I'm alone and it's late.
I am the girl with backwards skin.
I am the girl with backwards skin.
I am the girl with backwards skin.
I'm just a girl,
And its always the same.
And its always the same.
And its always the same.
Always.

I know what you see,
I know what you dream,
You dream and you see
To be out on a leaf,
Your leaf is a boat,
You glide and you float,
Right down to the stream,
Where your real friends would be.

They said it was good that someone could
By having no colour be one or the other,
My mum and my dad were gone in a year,
Sometimes when you're strange,
Everything gets so clear.

It's times when you're strange,
Everything gets so clear.
