Brooks Nielsen - Rubber & Bone lyrics

[Verse 1] No pretty trees here No sweet tea breeze You'd better leather wrap your baby feet Lift your chin up Connect your eyes To the half-dead with hearts still alive [Chorus] Yes they have names too (Don't forget) It could happen to you (You will too) Starving souls need fed (I respect) Recognize our living dead (Won't forget) Downtown is a ghetto Where the curbs have space There's humans, abandoned Complying Hard lines in their hopeless faces [Verse 2] No dirt to coat Green gra** to mow Broken gla**, oh The rubber & bones Where the river dumps Our trash and smut Under our fingernails Under our rug [Chorus] Yes they have names too (Don't forget) It could happen to you (You will too) Starving souls need fed (I respect) Recognize our living dead Downtown is a ghetto Where the curbs have space There's humans, abandoned Complying Hard lines in their hopeless faces [Bridge] Feeling for handout Handshake of time Shake a microcosm To the center of your mind [Chorus] Yes they have names too (Don't forget) It could happen to you (You will too) Starving souls need fed (I respect) Recognize our living dead Downtown is a ghetto Where the curbs have space There's humans, abandoned Complying Hard lines in their worn out faces Downtown is a ghetto Where the curbs have space There's humans, abandoned Complying Hard lines in their hopeless faces
