Those Poor Bastards Bones And Ivy Lyrics
Bones And Ivy by Those Poor Bastards
Choke the moon
Crush the sky
Don't let life pass you by
Summer storm
Spring parade
March along in this charade
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
Lost at night
In a maze of pine
I begged the stars to make you mine
The needles tore
My aching back
I tensed to meet the next attack
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
When all life
Is no more
Listen to the silence roar
Find a hole
Twelve feet wide
Curse your birth then crawl inside
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
I took myself a dip
Crush the sky
Don't let life pass you by
Summer storm
Spring parade
March along in this charade
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
Lost at night
In a maze of pine
I begged the stars to make you mine
The needles tore
My aching back
I tensed to meet the next attack
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
When all life
Is no more
Listen to the silence roar
Find a hole
Twelve feet wide
Curse your birth then crawl inside
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
I took myself a dip
