As I think now of Skinner's flat The Saturday fog was rolling in from the west Man you should have come around No noisy gongs or clanging cymbals It was a cozy scene, so serene Artie languished by the fireplace With a fire blazing like an Olympic flame Lying like an athlete suffered his last defeat I didn't have a heart to catch the heat Just a stone suspended in air Skinner asked Artie about upstate So I went upstream to smile for awhile my mumbled asides tumbled soundlessly It was a cozy scene, so serene sitting there in our underwear A reminder to breathe and I couldn't hear it anymore I know I've been a little crazy lately Showing you my backwards slide But man I was fine when I hit the floor And no one knows what's in my head You can't see that I'm hypnotized If you take the time to look into my eyes You'd see we share the same scene You should have come around, baby sitting there with my nose in the air

Skinner's Flat
As I think now of Skinner's flat The Saturday fog was rolling in from the west Man you should have come around No noisy gongs or clanging cymbals It was a cozy scene, so serene Artie languished by the fireplace With a fire blazing like an Olympic flame Lying like an athlete suffered his last defeat I didn't have a heart to catch the heat Just a stone suspended in air Skinner asked Artie about upstate So I went upstream to smile for awhile my mumbled asides tumbled soundlessly It was a cozy scene, so serene sitting there in our underwear A reminder to breathe and I couldn't hear it anymore I know I've been a little crazy lately Showing you my backwards slide But man I was fine when I hit the floor And no one knows what's in my head You can't see that I'm hypnotized If you take the time to look into my eyes You'd see we share the same scene You should have come around, baby sitting there with my nose in the air
