Thick Skin by Ervin Stellar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met Sally on Friday night
Sippin' whiskey and she looked alright
Later on under candlelight
We made a little honey
I ain't easy when it comes to things
White picket fences and diamond rings
But that don't mean I'm into one-night things
I just need a little honey
[Chorus]
But there ain't no such thing as thick skin
It's just the pain that you're in
Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Verse 2]
Me and Sally didn't waste no time
A little later we were sippin' wine
And [it might have lasted?] saw the warning signs
Run and take the money
The thoughts of adolescent suicide
Don't care if daddy's dead or alive
Burnin' each finger on a [?]
Lookin' for the money
[Chorus]
But there ain't no such thing as thick skin
It's just the pain that you're in
Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Verse 3]
Sally told me underneath the bridge
She had the thickest skin, no fear of death
I was wonderin' what comes next
The future ain't sunny
But that was me just tangled in my mind
Couldn't see the forest for the trees in the line
And now I'm wishin' that she still was mine
Ain't that funny
[Chorus]
But there ain't no such thing as thick skin
It's just the pain that you're in
Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Chorus 2]
You hands, they may hold
All the fire and the coal
But it's where your heart's been
That's love in the end
I met Sally on Friday night
Sippin' whiskey and she looked alright
Later on under candlelight
We made a little honey
I ain't easy when it comes to things
White picket fences and diamond rings
But that don't mean I'm into one-night things
I just need a little honey
[Chorus]
But there ain't no such thing as thick skin
It's just the pain that you're in
Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Verse 2]
Me and Sally didn't waste no time
A little later we were sippin' wine
And [it might have lasted?] saw the warning signs
Run and take the money
The thoughts of adolescent suicide
Don't care if daddy's dead or alive
Burnin' each finger on a [?]
Lookin' for the money
[Chorus]
But there ain't no such thing as thick skin
It's just the pain that you're in
Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Verse 3]

She had the thickest skin, no fear of death
I was wonderin' what comes next
The future ain't sunny
But that was me just tangled in my mind

And now I'm wishin' that she still was mine
Ain't that funny

But there ain't no such thing as thick skin

Gettin' pushed deep down inside
Lookin' for a place to hide
[Chorus 2]
You hands, they may hold
All the fire and the coal
But it's where your heart's been
That's love in the end
