skin and bones
blood and teeth
well this is esentially
who we are
hair and clothes
the company we keep
well this is regretably
who we are
to others
we're all the same
so show routines
the tall good looking boy
at the bar
won't have to stumble too far
to find someone
a new bird every night
he's still not satisfied
the thin skin
thick skulls
and awkward knees
each one unique by
fractions of an inch
and we're all ashamed of our vanity
as we should be
cuz the devils in the deed
we're all the same
so show
contraints
and emotional cravings
you and me
and him and her
and the prettiest girl at the party
pitys those girls
who aren't so pretty
but dress nice
she'll go home alone by choice
or choose one of the boys
to lay down with
if she's lonely
or horny
or human
blood and teeth
well this is esentially
who we are
hair and clothes
the company we keep
well this is regretably
who we are
to others
we're all the same
so show routines
the tall good looking boy
at the bar
won't have to stumble too far
to find someone
a new bird every night
he's still not satisfied
the thin skin
thick skulls
and awkward knees
each one unique by
fractions of an inch
and we're all ashamed of our vanity
as we should be
cuz the devils in the deed
we're all the same
so show
contraints
and emotional cravings
you and me
and him and her
and the prettiest girl at the party
pitys those girls
who aren't so pretty
but dress nice
she'll go home alone by choice
or choose one of the boys
to lay down with
if she's lonely
or horny
or human

Nevertheless, this is quite possibly my favorite Owen song ever. Such a deep look at society.
badly typed lyrics for one of Owen's best written song. =(
Anyway, this song is about how we're all the same scared, lonely, vain people on the inside...no matter what the outside makes it seem like.
the company we keep
well this is regrettably
who we are
