Bag of Bones

This is how my tale begins
I was outside looking in again
Nothing like rain to wash you clean
So I slipped in the cold and left unseen
I'd never seen a sky that pale at night
Shoulda known it wasn't right
Wandered out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones

I can see you're doing just fine without me
What did you say when you left?
I believed
You'd never get far without me
How wrong I was in the end
Thus, my tale of woe continues
It was me they got, but it shoulda been you
You were the only one I trusted
But you left town and I got busted
Let me see you one last time
You can kiss my worthless a- goodbye
I doubt that it's been nice to know me
Bon voyage, you best be going
I agree
There's something not right about we
I thought the darkness would pass
I believe
You'd never get far without me
Life is a joke if you laugh

This is how my story ends
I'm stoned in Brooklyn drunk again
No one laughs at nothing space
I'm just floating on through my eighties days
Been a long road but I'll be all right
I'm living on the country side
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
People die and planets turn
And empires rise and fall and burn
Nothing lasts and no one stays
We just spiral off into outer space
Never seen a sky so full of stars
Makes me wonder where you are
I'll be out here on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
I'll be out there on my own
Just a rattling bag of bones
