Lyrics
Soul Patch
Words by Henderson Shatner
So, who?s in the cage now?
Passion turned into a silk-pursed sow
All these things that I wanted
My ocean?s gone shallow
Everything?s gone from my here and now
Find me a soul mate, then make me a peon
Grow me a soul patch and light me in neon
Tattoo me and pierce me until what?s unique?s gone
And make me a copy of a copy
Of a picture of someone else
So cut me some slack now
And expect something more of me somehow
Help me cut out what is tragic
And if in the meantime
You can come up with a plan or sign
To set loose my anger, my hurt and frustration
To cure me of thinking nothing?s worth elation
To toss me a lifeline if I sink on occasion
To block out the copy of a copy
Of a picture of someone else
Repeat first verse
Find me a soul mate, then make me a peon
Grow me a soul patch and light me in neon
Tattoo me and pierce me until what?s unique?s gone
And make me a copy of a copy
Of a picture of someone else
