My Bones (Commentary)

In the mist of the morning, while the beast was asleep Woke up with a plan so brilliant I could not believe My mother and father, doctor and friends Don't tell them, don't trust them, they won't understand If you can't win the battle It's better to run Bury it down with my soul, down in my soul Down with my soul, where they'll never find me My bones My bones Way out in the garden, way out in the fields So far from these civilized nations, their discord and deals The birds, they all know it, they showed it to me Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree Its roots are still growing But it died long ago Bury it down with my soul, down in my soul Down with my soul, where they'll never find me My bones My bones My bones My bones Follow me Don't follow me (Follow me) When I was young I could perfectly see (Don't follow me) Now I'm as blind, blind as a girl can be (Follow me) Out of insanity into ecstasy (Don't follow me) We all sin, so why am I so guilty? (Follow me) And back to the trenches of the life I lead (Don't follow me) This hole, the only place that I can be free (Follow me) And out on the deep blue sea (Don't follow me) Is where, is where I'll be, don't follow me In the mist of the morning, while the beast was asleep I carried out my plan, I carried out my plan I carried out my plan, I carried out my plan I carried out my plan, I carried out my plan
