I dressed up the horses, set them loose Sunk the needle deep and took in every drop A violent path, an inch in time An error, my device the anchor drops I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw Pinch 'til the feeling's gone I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw Pinch 'til the feeling's gone Miles of horses gallop to the edge I saw murder in their mouths we try the whip Powerful, more muscle and stiff lip The reins are chains and I have lost my grip Try with all my heart I choke, I'm ready to go And if you're through with me then please say so Try with all my heart I choke, I'm ready to go And if you're through with me then please just say so I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw Pinch 'til the feeling's gone I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw I said peel the skin raw Pinch 'til the feeling's gone You built this game to play and to pretend You are a dark machine and I'm a cog When engines crack, when fuel lines break off I'll save your bits and let your motor rot
