In a dark room at the heart of the city   The bass beat brings a heavy crowd   And I know there's a right way   But I can't stop from getting down   These people are mad   Where'd they grow up   Why can't I do the same   Why can't I be okay   With my style and the grace of a small town      Is there any truth to the recipe   I've been mixing thrills in the right key   But I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all   I leave emotion at the door   Like a desperate boy at last call   No, I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all      There's a bad place in the back of the room   No one moves without a cue   Cause they know there's a right way   Yeah, all the know is getting down   These people are mad   And so am I   Yeah, I caught on   In the nick of time   Before the lights turn on   I can blend into the crowd   Don't come with me tonight   If I said I cared for you I lied      Is there any truth to the recipe   I've been mixing thrills in the right key   But I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all   I leave emotion at the door   Like a desperate boy at last call   No, I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all      Don't come with me tonight   If I said I cared for you I lied   You waste no time tonight   Take me home if it costs your life      Is there any truth to the recipe   I've been mixing thrills in the right key   But I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all   I leave emotion at the door   Like a desperate boy at last call   No, I don't feel right in my skin   So I don't feel anything at all
