Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Skin 'o My Teeth by Megadeth

Today's Metal Track is Skin o' My Teeth by Megadeth. This is the opening track off of their 1992 album Countdown to Extension. The phrase "skin of my teeth" comes from the Bible in Job 19:20.  "My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth."

Oh how I wish Marty had stayed with Megadeth. Another great solo on this track.

My favorite part of the song is at the end of the following verse where you can hear a drawer being slammed.

I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh to close the drawer
