Mighty Brother - Bones Lyrics

Bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones

So you want to see some proof
The river has the truth of it
The horse was at his heels
Must've put the fear of god in him
But where'd you get them shoes, boy
Ain't you heard the news, boy
The rivers on the rise
(What you say we put some fear inside those sun-maid eyes)
Looked to need a friend
You'll sink before you'll swim, I warrant

N-n-n-n-n no no l-let me stop you right before you start
Ain't nobody got your interest at heart
G-g-g-greed and gluttony is everybody I know
It's just the gingerbread that's rotting your
Bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones

Now let's get one thing straight
There's too much on my plate of late
The pig was at his heels
Swear I've seen the devil in my rearview mirror
Well, could you spare some change, boy
Don't you find it strange, boy
There ain't nowhere to hide
(What you say we put some fear inside those sun-maid eyes)
Looked like he was lost
I ferried him across, that's all

N-n-n-n-n no no l-let me stop you right before you start
Ain't nobody got your interest at heart
G-g-g-greed and gluttony is everybody I know
It's just the gingerbread that's rotting your bones
No, It's just the gingerbread that's rotting your bones
No, It's just the gingerbread that's rotting your

So you say you want a tale
Won't you get it off your chest
I feel like no one's got my back
Now it's coming to the head
Won't you stop and read my lips
No, I smell it on your breath
Your breath

Quarter gone, half gone, nearly gone, nearly (run as fast I can)
Quarter gone, half gone, nearly gone, well, I'm gone

N-n-n-n-now it seems the truth is tearing you apart
Ain't nobody got your interest at heart
N-n-n-no there ain't no morals, if you ain't got your own
Still the gingerbread keeps rotting our bones
