Before my voice gets burnt out
And you start to scream and shout
Before my life falls apart
Just as yours begins to start

Before the sharks start circling
Just as you are learning to swim
Before it becomes a sin
And the good guy wins
Let me get in

Under the skin
Under the skin
Under the skin

Before I start to understand
Just as you are done raising your hand
Before I crash into the ocean
Just as you are ready to land

Before my car skids off track
And you ask for your money back
Before the pills kick in
And the memories start to sting
Let me get in

Under the skin
Under the skin
Under the skin
Under the skin

Under the skin
Under the skin
Oh, let me get in
Under the skin
