I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Seven is Largartija Nick, by the brilliant Bauhaus.

Bauhaus - Largartija Nick

Largartija Nick 

Slow, painful peeling

Lizard skin turns inside out

Dark, twisted torment.
