Lyrics

[Refrain] My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones [Verse 1] I came for work, I came in from another town I came looking for a faceless place where I could settle down Take me to the mind, yeah, fill me up my blackened lungs I'll be your little bird when all the little songs are sung [Chorus] Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire [Refrain] My bones My bones My bones My bones [Verse 2] Send us to the fields, we'll till them till we break our spines Give us snow, or give us rain, or give us sweet sunshine Take us to the place where all the dirty work is done We'll be your little birds when all our little songs are sung [Chorus] Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire Turn me into ashes, darling, feed me to the fire Burn up all my bones until the flames can go no higher [Refrain] My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones [Verse 3] I came for work, I came in from another town I came looking for a faceless place where I could settle down Take me to the den where all the dirty work is done I'll be your little bird when all the little songs are sung [Chorus] Until the time has come, my work, my bones, oh, they are tired When the time has come, I'll do my duet to expire Turn me into ashes, darling, feed me to the fire Burn up all my bones until the flames can go no higher [Refrain] My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones My bones
