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
