skinny - filter

*The infamous second release off of Title of Record. Some fans felt that Filter "sold out" with this song, while some radio stations forewarned listeners that the rest of Filter's CD was hard-rock and they shouldn't rush out to buy it for other songs like it.
The real story behind the song--> Rich claims to be like a sleep-walker, but calls himself a sleep-undresser. He says this song stems from an incident on an airplane when he undressed himself from the waist down while sleeping to be more comfortable. He did not do a strip tease for the crew. He did not streak gloriously through the plane.
This song was featured on the soundtrack for Little Nicky.*
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real
Chorus:
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
'Cuz I won't remember
Yeah
I don't believe in
I don't believe in
In your sanctity
Your privacy
I don't believe in
I don't believe in
Sanctity
A hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyone agree that
They should not be left alone yeah
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming
Chorus
Hey dad what do you think about your son now
Ah hey dad what do you think about your son now
Chorus (4 times)
