Skin
The Burmoe Brothers feat. Marc Almond Lyrics

Moonbathe skin
The act of exposing oneself to the light of the moon to bleach the skin

Moonbathe skin
Repeating the action of moonbathing the skin

Of the people of the dark
Referring to individuals with dark skin, possibly from a different ethnicity or culture

Will your beauty draw me in
Asking if the beauty of the person's skin will attract the singer or captivate their attention

Will you hustle with my heart
Questioning if the person will play with the singer's emotions or deceive them

In the ether of the dusk
In the magical, mystical time between daylight and darkness

Where deceit takes over trust
A place where lies and dishonesty overshadow honesty and trust

And give me gold that only rusts
Offering the singer something desirable, but eventually it will decay or deteriorate

Every evening
A daily repetition

I'm following an echo
Chasing after a distant sound or memory

D'un chanson de Juliette Greco
From a song by the French artist Juliette Greco

Calls out to the loser in my soul
Speaking to the part of the singer that feels like a failure or has lost something important

So pale and so cold
Describing the appearance of the person's skin as light-colored and uninviting

Slay me with your golden smile
Overwhelming the singer with the charm or beauty of the person's smile

You who never sees the sun
Referring to the person as someone who doesn't spend time outside or under the sun

Though your words are volatile
Even though the person's language or emotions are unpredictable or unstable

There's no bullets in your gun
Despite any potential threats or danger, the person is powerless

And before the kiss of day
Before the sun begins to rise

Loves undertaker comes my way
Feeling as though love is a death or a casket for the singer's emotions

And I lose myself in you
Becoming wrapped up in the person's emotions or personality

In your eyes of bitter blue
Describing the person's eyes as unhappy or depressing, despite their blue color

And with all the makeup gone
After removing all cosmetic enhancements

And tomorrow looking on
When faced with the future

Will your beauty still define
Asking if the person's beauty will still be relevant or valuable

Something that forever shines
The person's attractiveness or allure that is seemingly everlasting

Following the bruises up your arm
Paying attention or noticing the signs of physical abuse, particularly on the arm

And the circles round your eyes
Noticing physical indicators of stress, tiredness or anxiety specifically in the form of circles around the eyes

In the shadows where you live
Referring to a dark or unpleasant place where the person resides or frequents

Where the sun will never rise
A place or situation where positivity or a brighter outlook is not attainable or possible

So pale and so cold
Reiterating the appearance of the person's skin as light-colored and uninspiring

Moonbathe skin
Recapitulating the act of moonbathing the skin

So pale and so cold
Concluding the song with the same description of the person's skin as at the beginning
