Paper Bird - Bone Marrow Pen lyrics
[Paper Bird - Bone Marrow Pen lyrics]
There's a fortress of past lives
And it's dressed in gold hats
And costumes of gold thread and wool
I need the right words to do
The breakwork - I'll use them
As my hammering tool
I'll take the rhythms, the choirs
The sad sun songs
I'll store them under my childhood bed
Here I'm gonna play the role of the living
Until I drop dead
No body-ody no body-ody
No body-ody, no no body-ody
No body-ody no body-ody, no
I need a hole in the mountain
Where truth can be found
With no rooms for remains of the past
I need my skin to be my future coffin
Nothing else can live up to the task
So if the lakеs turn around
And empty over their crowns
And thе paper will wash away
Maybe all our new sounds
Will grow strong and grow loud
And we'll come back and stay
No body-ody no body-ody
No body-ody, no no body-ody
No body-ody no body-ody, no
We won't dance, we won't dance
We won't dance
We won't dance on their graves, you and me
And my bone marrow pen draws a line
From our first breath to wherever we'll be
We won't dance, we won't dance
We won't dance
We won't dance on their graves, you and me
And my bone marrow pen draws a line
From our first breath to wherever we'll be
And it's dressed in gold hats
And costumes of gold thread and wool
I need the right words to do
The breakwork - I'll use them
As my hammering tool
I'll take the rhythms, the choirs
The sad sun songs
I'll store them under my childhood bed
Here I'm gonna play the role of the living
Until I drop dead
No body-ody no body-ody
No body-ody, no no body-ody
No body-ody no body-ody, no
I need a hole in the mountain
Where truth can be found
With no rooms for remains of the past
I need my skin to be my future coffin
Nothing else can live up to the task
So if the lakеs turn around
And empty over their crowns
And thе paper will wash away
Maybe all our new sounds
Will grow strong and grow loud
And we'll come back and stay
No body-ody no body-ody
No body-ody, no no body-ody
No body-ody no body-ody, no
We won't dance, we won't dance
We won't dance
We won't dance on their graves, you and me
And my bone marrow pen draws a line
From our first breath to wherever we'll be
We won't dance, we won't dance
We won't dance
We won't dance on their graves, you and me
And my bone marrow pen draws a line
From our first breath to wherever we'll be
