Songtexte The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Once
The dogs have quit their barking
"Son"

And you taste a bit like me

How

Just listen to me I won't pretend to
Understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
Like the hours I change softly slowly
Plainly blindly oh me oh my
