Oh Country (skin & Bones) Lyrics - Singles - Big Blood & The Bleeding Hearts

oh country you bloody old miser 

shake off the ancient dust of your heartless fathers 

and rain pounds upon Tyne upon Tweed upon the daylight 

darlings, sweating to keep you upright 

how I love to leave you crooning your songs 

mooning away the time to stretch farther 

while he chased the lovely tails of youth turned soft and holy 

makes loose the leashes and lashes of this cracked armor 

all skin and bones and no home 

born alone only to end me alone 

all skin and bones and no home 

your words digest space cruising red hot swollen lines 

tight nights awake pushing forth 

bring me blue, answering lashes and eyes we grow long 

hard limbs protecting our colors from each other burned hollow
