My Bones - Intellectual

[Refrain]

My bones

I came for work, I came in from another town

I came looking for a faceless place where I could settle down

Take me to the mind, yeah, fill me up my blackened lungs

I'll be your little bird when all the little songs are sung

Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired

When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire

My bones

Send us to the fields, we'll till them till we break our spines

Give us snow, or give us rain, or give us sweet sunshine

Take us to the place where all the dirty work is done

We'll be your little birds when all our little songs are sung

Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired

When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire

Turn me into ashes, darling, feed me to the fire

Burn up all my bones until the flames can go no higher

My bones

I came for work, I came in from another town

I came looking for a faceless place where I could settle down

Take me to the den where all the dirty work is done

I'll be your little bird when all the little songs are sung

Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired

When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire

Turn me into ashes, darling, feed me to the fire

Burn up all my bones until the flames can go no higher

My bones
