John Butler - Bag Of Bones lyrics

You're so high when you're on top You don't believe it's ever gonna stop You really swallow that invincible stuff But all you find when you get home Is all you own is a bag of bones And the mirror's gonna tell your secrets This you can't prevent Mystique's gone with so many other Phony compliments As the days turn into nights of fury You just can't get that special glow Desire's a friend that you wanna follow But when you need her most, she lets you go Ah, she knows what she wants Takes a slice out of everyone She's got stories that'll touch your soul Tells them well, sounds so true But you stay tough and unimpressed Having read the book I guess All it takes to resist Is to know when you get home All you own is a bag of bones Such a night, such a night Just one night of fun Don't turn to me when you capsize Didn't I do all I could? Ah-ah-ah... You're so high now you're in love I must admit it doesn't seem so wrong Am I dumb or am I just drunk Ah, you've won what you won But all you own is a bag of bones I wish I was on the southern island With an English rose Sometimes I get oh so frightened Of the inevitable There's a wind that blows so insincere It knocks the rhythm from my step Mercy on me, mercy on you Mercy on the whipper at my back Oh, she comes around again Enters with her silent friend And leaves you alone imagining That she took what she came for And you're right there at the front While she's got the answer in her coat And you can't tell if you've been or gone 'Cause all you find when you get home Is all you own is a bag of bones Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Hey, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Hey, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na All you own is a bag of bones Just a cold bitter wind pa**ing by
