I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think your beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
Hush your lips
I'm about to speak
If I talk real slow
do you think you can keep up with me
This time
Am I outta line
I'm trying to be a gentlemen
So please don't make me ask again
Yeah I've got a lot of nerve
Coming up to you
But your the only thing that's on my mind
So what's a boy to do?
Let me keep this short and sweet
Your the prettiest thing that I ever did see
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think your beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
Don't let me go
If I'm dangling
High above the world
Where the angels sing
Back it up
Let's turn this train around
Let's get this party hopping
Till we're shaking the ground
When the ground starts shaking
I'll be there to hold you tight
Don't worry about a thing 'cause everything will be alright
Let me keep this short and sweet
There's not a lot I wouldn't do to sweep you off your feet
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
Don't let me go
Baby please don't let me go
Don't let me go
Baby please don't let me go
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
Buy I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
but I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
