Used to be a gunner type that hides behing a door Picks of pieces that are left there of the shore Used ot be a runner that would awol any war Leave dead the promises before I heard the roar There was a time, when I was dust & bones I'd get into the fiercest fire you'll ever know There was a time, when I was dust & bones I'd get into the deepest hole you'll ever know Used to be a glimmer, up on top the beach and rock Cold hard k**er, barren face out in the fog Used to be the figure that would hide beneath the docks Back lane slitter, clean, done, broken and forgot
Cause there was a time, when I was dust & bones I'd get into the fiercest fire you'll ever know There was a time, when I was dust & bones I'd get into the deepest hole you'll ever know I have I have I have I have I've heard that you've blown in But you won't kick the sh** out of my dreams Until I go under Cause I've been feeling this old higher love That sits in the middle above Cause I've been feeling this old higher love That sits in the middle above I said a line about dust and bones From a book about the deepest tale you'll ever know
