My Bones

In the mist of the mornin' while the beast was asleep

Woke up with a plan so brilliant I could not believe

A mother and father, daughter and friends

Don't tell them, don't trust them, they won't understand

If you can't win the battle, it's better to run

Bury it down with my soul

Down in my soul

Down with my soul

Where they'll never find me

My bones

My bones

Way out in the garden, way out in the fields

So far from these civilized nations and discorded deals

Birds, they all know it, they showed it to me

Forgotten by man, there stands in an old hanging tree

Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree

Some roots are still growin', they died long ago

Bury it down with my soul

Down in my soul

Down with my soul

Where they'll never find me

My bones

My bones

My bones

My bones

Follow me, don't follow me

(Follow me) when I was young, I could perfectly see

Now I'm as blind, blind as a girl can be

(Follow me) out of insanity into ecstasy

We all sin, so why am I so guilty?

Back to the trenches of the life I lead

This hole, the only place that I can be free

And out on the deep blue sea

Is where, is where I'll be

Don't follow me

In the mist of the mornin'

While the beast was asleep

I carried out my plan

I carried out my plan

I carried out my plan

I carried out my plan

I carried out my plan

I carried out my plan
