lyrics

a figure in the porch-light
the local drunk
seeing the future in his glass
and spilt down his front

he wore the streets like a cloak
he drank the bars like oxygen
another misfortune
from birth to the end

for lack of a spine
here take mine
a bag of bones
just for show

a shadow in the corner of the night
hoarding severed hands but won't take mine
i see you but i don't it's like i'm looking for a ghost
who doesn't even know his name

for lack of a spine
here take mine
a bag of bones
just for show

for lack of a spine
here take mine
a bag of bones
just for show
