Skin And Concrete Lyrics - Rebekka Karijord

I stood on the street, in the drizzling rain. 

The brick roads are slippery in this ambiguous town. 

No one took notice. No one around. 

Except umbrellas and bicycles, passing without a sound. 

The one whose skin meets concrete, 

whose daugther is this girl? 

Her name is tagged all over town 

on skin and concrete. 

A pink , french balcony. The light inside was dim. 

Reflections of motion dancing on the curtains. 

One window half open so I whispered to him. 

But it was she who opened , a girl of my age, about 15. 

The one whose skin meets concrete 

Whose daugther is this girl? 

Her name is tagged all over town 

on skin and concrete 

So I wont forget her. 

So I wont forget her. 

Get her. 

I stared like a child .Thank you innocence. 

I asked pale, naked girl what she did down on the floor. 

The answer she gave me 

at the time, made no sense: 

"Take your eyes off me 

while I inject my indifference." 

The one whose skin meets concrete 

Whose daughter is this girl? 

Her name is tagged 

all over town , 

on skin and concrete 

So I wont forget her. 

Did you long for that last shot ? 

Was it good to forget? 

Did they buy you a nice coffin 

with red roses on? 

And when someone wonders : 

"What happened to your lovely daughter?" 

They will simply say: 

"She just slipped away."
