Let Em Break Your Bones

band : woodbox gang album : born with a tail let Em break your bones Verse 1 G Am i got these crazy dreams just don’t know what they mean C D G sometimes i dream so loud it wakes up dead folks underground G Am hatches baby birds and shakes Em on down C D makes the weeping willow trees cry themselves brown Chorus G let ’em break your bones Am don’t let ’em take your soul C fill your heart up let it explode D don’t let it turn cold Verse 2 the only things that i recall as a witness to the slaughter was the muddy and bloody water and the farmer’s youngest daughter covered in blood and feathers playing with a dead rabbit she smiled like a centerfold reached out saying come and get it Verse 3 i found a dying angel after the mutiny in heaven when i asked her what happened she said look up there and you can see them i saw white wings torn off and caught in the razor wire they did their best to bust out but they couldn’t get any higher Verse 4 a clown tattooed vomit on his chin teardrops on his cheeks he painted nails on his hands and he nailed hooves to his feet his dying words were befriend a man who can settle for less but beware the poor creature who will kill for the best Verse 5 he pissed tulips she bled a rose i cried stinging nettle we were all at ground zero waiting for the dust to settle she said i’m a morning glory won’t you open me slowly he said i’m a dandelion come over here and blow me Verse 6 she was standing in her darkened doorway wearing nothing but a cuban guitar her leather strap wrapped over her shoulder she was sucking an electric cigar she said why are you so quiet if you don’t believe in silence? i cried why is my nose broken if you don’t believe in violence?
