Oh Country (skin & Bones) Lyrics

oh country you bloody old miser

shake off the ancient dust of your heartless fathers

and rain pounds upon Tyne upon Tweed upon the daylight

darlings, sweating to keep you upright

how I love to leave you crooning your songs

mooning away the time to stretch farther

while he chased the lovely tails of youth turned soft and holy

makes loose the leashes and lashes of this cracked armor

all skin and bones and no home

born alone only to end me alone

all skin and bones and no home

your words digest space cruising red hot swollen lines

tight nights awake pushing forth

bring me blue, answering lashes and eyes we grow long

hard limbs protecting our colors from each other burned hollow

all skin and bones and no home

born alone only to end me alone

all skin and bones and no home

all skin and bones and no where to go
