Lyrics for I Have Been Told That My Skin Is Exceptionally Smooth

Should there be songs? Should my hair be long? Should my stare be strong? Do nightmares belong on the prairie at dawn? Do I dare to fawn over fair-faced blondes? Should there be bonds? To there hair I'm drawn Should my prayers be bronzed? Are affairs so wrong? I have been told that my skin is exceptionally smooth But what good is that When to get to my heart You have to crawl through tight tunnels of sharp rock?
