Golden Bones

Just open your eyes and you will have the money To see you right through Your heavy eyelids or only heavy Cause the coins will pay your dues Don't open your mouth Or everyone will know where you come from The ferry's packed and out of touch Don't ever let them know what you have loved, Or they'll come back So guard your golden bones Gunfire and cannonade, like music to your ears Is this hell or your home? Good god you had it made You were the picture of perfection and dismay Just so you know the dark horse is a wild animal And it knows what you know, what you've done, Where you're heading and where you're from So don't look back Just guard your golden bones A ship rose from the water It's big enough to board So open your eyes and pay the man You set across the river The ship has reached the shore Welcome to your home my wayward friend Amen Amen Amen If you are dancing with your demons, Then you're a sycophantic heathen You are lost in ways you'll never know Well thank you father very much, but I am ok, I need no crutch Oh my god that river is WILD! Was once a non-believer, bathed in fire and now I'm cleaner I was lost in ways you'll never know If I've said it once, I've said it twice, This is not the lord of the flies When this bitch sinks where do we go? I don't know, no I don't know where we go No I don't know where we go No, no one knows No one knows Cross your arms and guard your golden bones
