Carbon Ribs
A thousand pairs of fiery eyes
Burn like a serpent down the Highway 5
As the long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got this resurrection down in side my skin
But for all my revelating
I just can't make sense
Of this gravity we're in
Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led you to the threshold
Of my heart's screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes
Like a cold cold rain
To lead me to the rope again
But someone is standing in my place
Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
Burn like a serpent down the Highway 5
As the long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got this resurrection down in side my skin
But for all my revelating
I just can't make sense
Of this gravity we're in
Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led you to the threshold
Of my heart's screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes
Like a cold cold rain
To lead me to the rope again
But someone is standing in my place
Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
