Anyone know the lyrics for Play Pig?

[Thing In A Book]

I'm so totally in love with the Pig & Dan number 2 mix of Play Pig. Especially the lyrics seems to really catch the drift while going on and on if you know what I mean....but wait...what exactly is he saying...anyone have a clue?

Low grade buildings....architecture for the blind...beautiful (turd?)...amnesia...
I love this town...brutal...cheap frills...no flesh (flash?) distractions

everything simple...low (fibe?)...

these are some of the words I can sort out but I know there are many more...care to help me please?

Thanks!

amnesia

young bucks cuss
throwin' shapes
outside the job center
mine's a sun
and a
bag o' stickers
your red face lips
suck another smoke stick
you press play
on young misery today
i got my cinnamon bun
my distance from you
is the skin i'm in
wrapped in caffeine and sweet stuff

I love this town
brutal
low grade buildings
architecture for the blind
beautiful dirt
and the numb zone
excites me

everything's simple
no cheap thrills
no frills
no flash distractions
low-fi
lover
you make me shake
you make me grateful to be alive again

many predators

amnesia

Having remixed this, I got pretty damn familiar with the lyrics. From memory, I believe that "my distance from you is the skinamon" is actually "my distance from you is the skin I'm in", and "bruto" is actually "brutal". I could be wrong, but that's how I always heard it in the isolated vocals.

I agree with Sean, plus, got the following additions!
'Throwin' shapes' instead of 'Thowin' shapes' (may be a typo )
'In the numb zone' instead of 'And the numb zone'
'Low grey buildings instead of 'Low grade buildings'

the a-capella part is really clear, think i'm in love with karl's voice, so deep, mmm

[TheBang]

I listened very carefully to the a capella again, and I agree with "skin i'm in" and "brutal", but I'll have to disagree with "and" and "grade". I can hear the "d" ending sound on both of those.

its almost certainly grade not grey

to my ears anyway

True, I'll give in, it's grade

I'm not quite convinced on the 'and' though, must say it's really hard to hear, even acapella. (What are we talking about anyway, some 50-year-old guy getting excited about the numb zone, and if it contains dirt )

Nice work, fellas!
I also thought it was "low grey buildings", seemed to fit the dirty theme. But we're splitting hairs, anyway! Fact is, that's a great set o' lyrics!

Looking forward to another River Run. I like OWB a lot, but somehow those EPs get me more emotionally.

"it's the skin i'm in" sounds correct to me, and it also makes more sense. "the skin i'm and" makes no sense.
