The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed this unclean skin And start to feel again No more, no more 'Cause all the shoulders I wish to cry on gone And on that day they'll tell you

I will not let you go Whoever I am It's not like the movies It's not all skin and bones So come on love How you lost your mind You wanted better love

And its really cold outside You know I hate bein' alone Bet I'll get you right You know my roommates ain't home Brown skin honey, said won't you creep into my bedroom? You lookin' real good now, tell me what it do I heard you got a girl though, what's it

Subliminal love, love, love She'll have you hypnotized with that 'come kiss me' smile And that touch that says you're gonna stay a while She's got that subliminal love That hair that falls like waves crashing on her skin In those ocean eyes saying jump

Skin and bones I'm just skin and bones Don't you know? Watch me spin Lately I've been measuring Seems my time is growing thin Wind me up and watch me spin All worn out and nothing fits

I'm wounded by dust Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Shy and tired-eyed am I today When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell

Subliminal love, love, love She'll have you hypnotized with that 'come kiss me' smile And that touch that says you're gonna stay a while She's got that subliminal love That hair that falls like waves crashing on her skin In those ocean eyes saying jump

With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all We're not lovers, we're just strangers (You lost it) When I wake up all alone And I'm thinking of your skin I remember, I remember what you told me Said that we're not lovers,

Subliminal love, love, love She'll have you hypnotized with that 'come kiss me' smile And that touch that says you're gonna stay a while She's got that subliminal love That hair that falls like waves crashing on her skin In those ocean eyes saying jump

'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges Stop asking why Why we had to waste so much time Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again Could it be that I've changed or did you? And if you wanna call me up or come over Like we did when we were kids
