The Silent Comedy - Bones lyrics
[The Silent Comedy - Bones lyrics]
Your father made a fortune on
The pain and torture
Of the labor never payed to build the streets
And as he lay there dyin'
He pulled you to him cryin'
He said, "My dear
Their faces starin' back at me"
And you said, "Father, whatever do you mean?"
He said, "There's bones under the road
I buried them deep
And I know, that when I go
They're waiting for me"
Your uneventful husband
He doesn't know he does it
But when you are talking
He looks at your feet
You got your body sunlit
Then the butler done it he said
"Ma'am I'm sorry but you know I'm weak"
(weak, weak, weak yeah) and you said
"I thought we weren't supposed to speak"
Because there's bones under the road
Buried for me
Oh know, that when I'm old, bones I will be
You have a lovely daughter
You held her underwater
But, you wanted her dressed up
To greet your guests
They said "My dear you look pale
Soaked wet and frail" she screamed
"Your face is made up to hide a mess
Oh why don't you just go on and confess"
That there's bones under the robe
You're wearing for me
Oh, I know, that when I'm old
Bones I will be
You know there's bones under the road
I buried them deep
And I know, that when I'm old
Bones I will be
The pain and torture
Of the labor never payed to build the streets
And as he lay there dyin'
He pulled you to him cryin'
He said, "My dear
Their faces starin' back at me"
And you said, "Father, whatever do you mean?"
He said, "There's bones under the road
I buried them deep
And I know, that when I go
They're waiting for me"
Your uneventful husband
He doesn't know he does it
But when you are talking
He looks at your feet
You got your body sunlit
Then the butler done it he said
"Ma'am I'm sorry but you know I'm weak"
(weak, weak, weak yeah) and you said
"I thought we weren't supposed to speak"
Because there's bones under the road
Buried for me
Oh know, that when I'm old, bones I will be
You have a lovely daughter
You held her underwater
But, you wanted her dressed up
To greet your guests
They said "My dear you look pale
Soaked wet and frail" she screamed
"Your face is made up to hide a mess
Oh why don't you just go on and confess"
That there's bones under the robe
You're wearing for me
Oh, I know, that when I'm old
Bones I will be
You know there's bones under the road
I buried them deep
And I know, that when I'm old
Bones I will be
