Let 'em Break Your Bones

I [G]got these crazy dreams just don't know what th[Am]ey mean
Sometimes I dream s[C]o loud [D]it wakes up dead folks [G]underground
[G]Hatches baby birds and shakes em on[Am] down
Makes the weeping[C] willow trees[D] cry themselves brown

[G]Let 'em break your bones
Don't let 'em take your[Am] soul
Fill your heart up let it e[C]xplode
[D]Don't let it turn cold

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”

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

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

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”

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?”
