i've got fifteen different skins
most are thick but some are thin
everything is coming to a halt
six to wear with perfect ease
aces tucked inside each sleeve
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
concentration keeps you rich
but you need more money to cut that itch
everything is coming to a halt
temporise to buy more time
and the cheek to slip your hand in mine
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way
we've big pockets to keep you in
but until you leave we won't begin
everything is coming to a halt
all impatience slows you down
but you feed your hunger for nothing
everything is coming to a halt
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way
