about

Cajon by Curt Newton

lyrics

Hey Thick Skin, how have you been?
You look a little strange
Has someone popped you with a pin,
Deflated your defences again?

Hey Thick Skin, how has it been
To be so aloof and aware?
You’re not perfect, but you’re worth it
Can’t you see we care?

It looks like something’s happened here
But we won’t ever say
It’s your secret and we’ll keep it
Clean up anyway

We’ll cover it in tacky glue
Stick it in a box
Wrap it up in duct tape
And a big padlock
Throw it in a safe
To the bottom of a lake
And forget you ever made that
Little mistake

“Hey there, kid, I saw what you did,
And you should be ashamed!”
Says the man. He don’t understand
The way the times have changed

These days when you fall on your own face
It’s not the end
You’ll pull through, I promise you
You’ve got a friend

We’ll cover it in tacky glue
Stick it in a box
Wrap it up in duct tape
And a big padlock
Throw it in a safe
To the bottom of a lake
And forget you ever made that
Little mistake

Now I have heard the prisons
In this country aren’t that great
They’ll tear you and they’ll scare you
‘Til your soul just suffocates
But I think I like you
I think I like you
I like you way too much
To leave you to that fate

We’ll cover it in tacky glue
Stick it in a box
Wrap it up in duct tape
And a big padlock
Throw it in a safe
To the bottom of a lake
And forget you ever made that
And forget you ever made that

We’ll cover it in tacky glue
Stick it in a box
Wrap it up in duct tape
And a big padlock
Throw it in a safe
To the bottom of a lake
And forget I ever made that
Little mistake
