Skin and Bones

When you go down in the hole in the ground

Spare a thought for all that gather around

There's not enough of yourself to put your soul on a shelf

Just have it on for whatever you can get

To pay your final debt

To play your safest bet

When you can't a job 'cause there's nothing in this town

And this pent-up energy wears you down

When boredom settles in and depression starts to win

It's hard to recognise the face that's looking back

That's a painful fact

It's a painful fact

It's my home, it's where I've grown

It's my home, it's all I've know

It's my home, it's where I've grown

It's my home, it's all I've know

It's left me with just my skin and bones

And you dream of skipping town, well it all came crashing down

When your poor old daddy took you in

So you climb inside a beer 'cause it's always crystal clear

Tryna drink all the sorrow outta you

With the same old crew

The birds that never flew

It's my home, it's where I've grown

It's my home, it's all I've know

It's my home, it's where I've grown

It's my home, it's all I've know

It's left me with just my skin and bones

And the only saving grace is your lovely, sweet face

Bet she'll grow old with you

But soon her pretty eyes will show the sadness inside

'Cause you trapped that bird in the cage with you

Two birds that never flew

Two birds that never flew

Two birds that never flew

Two birds that never flew

This is my home, it's where I've grown

It's my home, it's all I've know

This is my home, it's where I've grown

This is my home, it's all I've know

Before I walk, just rolling stones

So I'll be on, oh, I'll be on

Oh, I'll be on my way
