SKIN AND BONES

out of time, come to regret it
lone and skin and bones
compromised and apathetic
hopeless, skin and bones
simplified, made to forget it
stoned and skin and bones
the feel
of the cold
skin and bones
skin and bones
as we bleed
on the floor
haunted by the ghosts of habit
moans the skin and bones
one two three four five six seven
cloned and skin and bones
fallen from a heartless heaven
crows the skin and bones
with his feet
on our throats
skin and bones
skin and bones
the king
on his throne
skinnin' bones

war
hatred
fearing
the nation
I could like that
but I don’t
radio
TV
the bosses
the headache
I could like that
but I don’t
what could I be doing?
where could I be going?
who could I be screwing?
what could I be growing?
alienation
segregation
I could like that
but I don’t
resignation
wasted spaces
I could like that
but I don’t

I’m comin’ home
to my baby tonight
we’ll be alone
in the sunny moonlight
I’ll be the one
who will prepare the fire
I’m comin’ home
to my baby tonight
I’m comin’ home
to my baby tonight
we’ll scream and moan
when they turn out the lights
I’ll be the one
who will defend the rights
I’m comin’ home
to my baby tonight
