[Verse]
The way your smell lingers on my clothes
Creeps up, eats me inside out
I couldn't make you stay
Shoot up in the trailer
I couldn't make you stay here

[Verse]
Pebbles fall from under your toes
Jumped up, fucked up always
Like you were seeing something
Like you saw something beautiful
Couldn't make you stay here

[Chorus]
Dead skin, piercing light
Through my eyes, through my spine
Catch a glimpse of a flicker and I try
And you are not here in my bed tonight
You never will be
You never will be, Tommy

[Bridge]
And I forgot your eyes
And I forgot your hair
And I forgot you entirely
The fall from Diamond Gap
The ravages of time
If you don't jump then I'll be fine

[Chorus]
Dead skin, piercing light
Through my eyes, through my spine
Catch a glimpse of a flicker and I try
Dead skin, piercing light
Through my eyes, through my spine
Catch a glimpse of a flicker and I try
And you are not here in my bed tonight
You never will be
You never will be
You never will be
You never will be

[Outro]
And you won't work in the factory
I'll stop stripping
And I won't leave if you won't leave
If you don't leave, Tommy
