Bag of Bones

"Riches to Rags"

This is the sound Of us falling apart This is the sound Never getting back to the start I guess we're going down These are the days For better or worse We gotta seal our fate We're breaking out It's a world gone mad But I have never felt so alive We've gone from riches to rags This is the sound Of us digging our graves Yeah, this is the sound Of us burnt at the stake I guess we're going down These are the days For better or worse We gotta seal our fate We're breaking out It's a world gone mad But I have never felt so alive We've gone from riches to rags

"Not Supposed to Sing the Blues"

Born in 1963 In the shadow of Kennedy I'm still a kid when the levee breaks Man oh man, that's all it takes And I'm on my way Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues Where you come from If you walk across those railroad tracks Son, you're on your own But all I know is what I feel And it can't be wrong Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues Where you come from It's just not done Back in black and I'm seventeen I've been told son, let it be I've got these lines upon my face now A room at the Heartbreak Hotel, yeah yeah Oh well, oh well, oh yeah Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues Where you come from If you walk across those railroad tracks Son, you're on your own All I know is what I feel And it can't be wrong Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues Where you come from You know it's just not done

"Firebox"

Dealing with magic I have no defense There's no answer Just surrender Permission to land Just a man It never stops Just one lifetime Oh Firebox Always hanging somewhere Between desire and despair Just a man  Can't get enough Just one lifetime Oh Firebox

"Bag of Bones"

Bag of bones, I'm a bag of bones Darker days I've never known Where's this feeing coming from Lord, I miss my happy home I said why now, why now Should be having the time of my life I said bag of bones, I'm just a bag of bones Must be some kind of homecoming song Homecoming song And my city lies in ruins In the stone cold light of day And I'm sifting through the rubble How did it get this late Baby, how did it get this late Bag of bones, I'm a bag of bones The darkest sky I've ever known Now here's a life I can't walk out on I gotta deal with what's going on I said why now, why now I was having the time of my life I said bag of bones, I'm just a bag of bones Must be some kind of homecoming song Homecoming song And my city lies in ruins From the last couple of days And I'm sifting through the rubble How did it get this late And my city lies in ruins From the last couple of days And I'm sifting through the rubble How did it get this late Yeah, my city lies in ruins In the stone cold light of day And I'm out late after curfew How did it get this late Bag of bones, I'm a bag of bones Must be some kind of homecoming song

"My Woman My Friend"

My woman my friend I have lost you so many times now Just wanna feel that love again My woman my friend Must be some kind of miracle We get to start all over again All I know, all I know, all I know A man goes through hell sometimes All I know, all I know, all I know A man gets lucky sometimes I got lucky 'cause you're My woman my friend Must be some kind of miracle Only the deeds will make a man Will make the man All I know, all I know, all I know A man goes to heaven sometimes All I know, all I know, all I know A man gets lucky sometimes I got lucky 'cause you're My woman my friend I remember way back when Must be some kind of miracle This can't be how the story ends

"Demon Head"

I'm gonna hang my hope On the glowing stars Of the ceiling of this room I'm gonna sling my dreams 'Round the captain's hook And drag him into doom You give me something I can use You give me something I can use, my friend Some drunken honesty You serve up some remedy For my demon head My demon head I come crashing down From the galaxies Right down to the midnight zone Well, I'm a time-torn man I can find some peace Where the glorious monsters roam You give me something I can use You give me something I can use, my friend Some drunken honesty You are the remedy For my demon head Well, I'm gonna ride this train What's left of me 'Til I'm running out of track Well, there's a wicked karma chasing me But as long as you got my back

"Drink and a Smile"

It comes from out of nowhere I hear that simple sound It gets my body moving So bad I can't come down Well, the whole thing's far from perfect How I choose to spend my precious time Far from that ragged edge With a drink and a smile Feels like I'm on to a winner Tonight I can do no wrong God knows she's no beginner The best I have ever known Well, the whole thing's far from perfect How we choose to spend our precious time Far from that ragged edge With a drink and a smile My heart keeps beating faster Until the lights go out The last thing I hear is laughter I do remember what it's like

"Doghouse"

I've been making some enemies I've been taking some liberties Just living my life, try getting it right Lord, let me tell you I'm always in the doghouse No matter what I do I'm always in the doghouse I've been running right or wrong Always running right or wrong Just living my life, try getting it right Lord, let me tell you I'm always in the doghouse Hey no matter what I do I'm always in the doghouse Oh my Lord, my sweet Lord What have I done Are you ever, are you ever Say, are you ever gonna take me home

"Mercy You Mercy Me"

It's kind of crazy How we are slaves to an early grave So we get wasted To see clearer through the haze You gotta shake it off Get back up Show what you're made of Make your own luck And raise your heart above these streets Put some soul under your feet Take only what you need Raise your heart above these streets Mercy you mercy me It's kinda frightening To see how much this place has changed You gotta shake it off Get back up Show what you're made of Make your own luck And raise your heart above these streets Put some soul under your feet Take only what you need Raise your heart above these streets Mercy you mercy me Oh, get your head 'round what you need Oh, get your head 'round what you feel 'Cause this is real

"Bring It All Home"

It's curtain call Guess you can't outrun All the truth We've staggered on With broken parts Like you do But it's alright, thrills will fade We've had some good laughs on the way Thank you for coming along To bring it all home Well, I'd take them back Those early years Oh anytime As we make our beds We get to shine Once in a while But it's alright, thrills will fade We've had some good laughs on the way Thank you for coming along To bring it all home It's alright, thrills will fade We've had some good laughs along the way Thank you for coming along Bring it all home Thank you for coming along Let's bring it all home
