Sleazbox  (dead mans bones)

 

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I PORTRAYED THE MAN I AM

REASONING AND TRUTH IS WHAT CALLS ME BACK AGAIN

I DON'T NEED CORRUPTION AND CONFUSION ALL MY LIFE

WHEN IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO FIND SANCUARY FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

I DON'T KNOW WHAT DEMON CRAWLED INTO ME, PERHAPS I'M NOT TO KNOW

THERE WAS FIRE IN MY EYES, THE FREEDOM SLIPPED OUT OF CONTROL

I'M FEELING YESTERDAY LIKE A TREMOR IN MY SOUL

I NAMED HIM SLEAZBOX AND IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO

 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LONELY?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL ALONE?

 

FORWARD THROUGH TOMORROW, I BEAT THE ROLLING STONE

IT'S FAR TOO LIKELY THAT HE WILL GO AND FEED UPON A DEAD MANS BONES

STRENGTH IS THE WAY TO BEAR AN ARROW STRAIGHT THROUGH MY HEART

YOU ARE MY WAY, I DON'T WANT TO BE APART

 

BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LONELY

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ALONE

IT'S SO EASY TO BE SLEAZBOX AND FEED UPON A DEAD MANS BONES

 

BUT IT'S TIME YOU TAKE A LOOK INSIDE

IT'S TIME YOU TOOK YOUR TRIP FOR A RIDE

IT'S TIME THAT YOU PLAY YOUR PART

IT'S TIME THAT YOU FOLLOW YOUR HEART

 

MAGIC'S IN THE AIR, I SING A COLORFUL LULLABY

I FELT THE COMING OF DAWN AS THE SUN STARTS TO RISE

WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE FIELDS, OUR FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND

YOU ARE MY WAY, THERE'S NOT ROOM FOR THIS IN MY HANDS

DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA

I'M FEELING YESTERDAY LIKE A TREMOR IN MY SOUL

I NAMED HIM SLEAZBOX AND IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO

 

SAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LONELY?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ALONE?

IT'S SO EASY TO BE SLEAZBOX AND FEED UPON A DEAD MANS BONES
