lyrics

I wanna tell you about Lin!

I wanna tell you about Lin
a normal girl with a faulty spread of skin

While others can wash stains from their hands
She can't erase its own marks

Once she painted her nails ruby red
Chipped but coloured they're still today

She's lucky to put mascara only once
not to mention lipstick and a dose of pink blush

But Lin is happy and adores her skin
cause it's a map of the places she's been

At the back of her neck yellow dirt from the day
when she dyed her hair in the colour of clay

A blue semi-circle lie on her wrist
made by a best friend at the age of six

Dots of plastic paint decorate her feet
from the day her house looked kind of shit

Finger painting still to remember
the bunny she drew when she was only seven

But Lin is happy and adores her skin
cause it's a map of the places she's been

Tattoos she liked but never thought of having
would have been disastrous to do body painting

Mention these one may think Lin is afraid
to keep herself close to the dangers of stains
of stains of stains of stains
