New Skins for Old

Can we doubt when we don an old animal skin
That is really a previous state we were in
After all, if a TV can change its station
Why not a soul, its next incarnation?
Oh, ooh

Not to say that the soul is in charge of the change
For whatever is holy is largely the strange
But only because the unknown is unknown
Oh, how many skins has your own spirit grown

New skins for old (New skins for old)
New skins for old
Warm skins for warm skins
Or warm skins for cold

Can this theory be any more stranger to you
Than the fact that each seven years trades old cells for new, uh
Maybe it's madness, and maybe it's true
That the fur coat you wear is the fur you once grew

New cells for old (new cells for old)
New cells for old
Warm cells for warm cells
Or warm cells for cold

New skins, new skins, new skins for old
New skins for old
Warm skins for warm skins
Or warm skins for cold
