Skin Keeps the Beat (Version 2) lyrics
Intro
Kick finds skin before it finds sound
Verse
Drumhead tight beneath the light
Same stretch running down my spine
Every hit lands twice as one
Membrane keeping perfect time
Pre-Chorus
Feel the skin remember rhythm
Feel the pulse before the beat
Body tuned to something older
Vibrating through my feet
Chorus
Skin keeps the beat
Skin keeps the beat
No drum without the body
No body without the beat
Verse
Sweat on the surface, taut and thin
Same tension holding both of us
Every strike I take and give back
Sound becomes the only trust
Pre-Chorus
Feel the skin remember rhythm
Feel the pulse before the beat
Body tuned to something older
Vibrating through my feet
Chorus
Skin keeps the beat
Skin keeps the beat
No drum without the body
No body without the beat
Bridge
One skin stretched across the night
One skin, one sound, one hide
Nothing hollow left inside
Outro
Skin keeps the beat
Skin keeps the beat
Still keeping it
