Skinny Skins Lyrics

When he turns sideways, he disappears
When he beats that drum, it hurts my ears
A fifth of gin will let him win
Skinny Skins

Skinny Skins
Looking for some smoke
Skinny Skins
I owe him money

I hear he's running 'round again
Skinny Skins
If that's him knocking, don't let him in
Let him in
Skinny Skins

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about Steve Hindalong, the drummer for the Choir. Hindalong said Knott got two things wrong in the song: He owed Derri Daughtery, not Hindalong, money; and 1993 was a vodka year.
