Skin Deep (Stranglers)

Many people tell you they're your friend
You believe them
you need them
For what's round the river bend
Make sure that your're receiveing the signals they send
Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Mayby there's someone who makes you weep
And some nights loom (sich auft"urmen) up ahead
When you're asleep
Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
Sometimes, it's tougher to look then to leap

Better watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep

One day the track that you're climbing gets steep (steil)
Your emotions are frayed (erhitzte Gem"uter)
And your nerves are starting to creep (kriechen, schaudern)
Just remember the days
As long as the time that you keep
Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep

Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out, watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
