Old Bones

Over there in that old country home
he crushed his dad's skull with a stone
Over ther by that old dirt road
that's where the pigs ate his bones
I swear I know for a fact
'Cause my grandpa told me so
Dandylion lawns and sunny skies
Crazy old man's fishing hole

Life is but a dream
Makes you wanna scream
Bursting at the seems
where nothing is real and nothing is safe
Not that it matters anyway

Like a teacher in Charlie Brown
the words I say don't make a sound
Got my good ear to the ground
While my good eye stairs you down
Punch for punch and pound for pound
lets build a dam before we drown
They say he was never found
I say find some pig shit and dig around

Life is but a dream
Makes you wanna scream
Bursting at the seems
where nothing is real and nothing is safe
Not that it matters anyway

Old bones, my soul is sinking like a stone
Old bones, why don't you all just leave me alone?
