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






Once - The dogs have quit their barking
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same old sheep."
Run - I'll do no more this walking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore

But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth

Far - Far away from West Virginia
I - Will try on New York City
Explaining that the sky holds the
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down
Honeybees that sting
BUT THIS BOY COULD USE A LITTLE STING!

Who - Will get me to a party?
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
You - You look a bit like coffee
And you taste a bit like me
How - Can I keep me from moving?
Now - I need a change of scenery
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!

    I play this loudly every Friday at work. Coworkers hated the song, and his voice. Now they all enjoy the song instead. Even dance to it! Traditions, eh? Magic

  43. D.... D....

    EL ARTE DE VIVIR. ❤️

  44. s.... ....

    go to the source. contrived emulations offer much less reward. it's good that young people are inspired by older music but if it's an emulation then it's redundant & holds much less power.

    Una vez... los perros habian renunciado a sus ladridos, 
    "Hijo", me dijo mi vecino, 
    "Conoce como el vacion de hablar tristemente de la ultima oveja", 
    Corre, No hare nada mas que caminar, 
    Embrujado por un pasado que no puedo ver, 
    nunca mas, 
    nunca mas

    Pero dejame decir que yo nunca planee,
    dejarlo salir de las manos de donde estaba, 
    aferrandose por esta espesa piel del pais, 
    para mi pais diente amarilo.

    Lejos, lejos del oeste de virginia, 
    Yo, tratare en la ciudad de Nueva York, 
    Explicando que el cielo abraza el viento, 
    el sol corre en si y un niño
    con un arma puede tumbar abejas que pican, 
    pero este chico puede usar un pequeño piquete... 

    Quien, me llevara a la fiesta?
    (A) Quien, tengo ya que conocer?
    Tu, pareces un poco como cafe, 
    y sabes un poco como yo, 
    Como, Puedo permanecer en este movimiento?
    Ahora, Necesito un cambio de escenario.
    Solo escuchame a mi, que no pretendo 
    entender el movimiento del viento
    o el de las olas en el oceano o a
    estas horas que cargo suave y lentamente, 
    dolorosaente, cegadoramente oh yo, oh mi...

  62. s.... ....
