Crafted for the 05/25/11 Song Fight!

lyrics

i remember how long it's been
since you came by my door
seventy times seven days
since you came by my door
a bag of bones in your left hand
when you came by my door
it rattled hollow just like your soul
when you came by my door

i know what you wanted
a place to rest those bones
i know what you wanted
a place to call your own

well this home has been spoken for
you aren't welcome here
these hands have never been idle
you aren't welcome here
this bed ain't empty now
you aren't welcome here
take your bones and rattle along
you aren't welcome here

i know what you wanted
a place to rest those bones
i know what you wanted
a place to call your own

don't come back, beelezebub
this flesh belongs to me
don't knock again, ole salome
this flesh belongs to me
don't sing about your sorrows
this flesh belongs to me
i remember how long it's been
this flesh belongs to me

i know what you wanted
a place to rest those bones
i know what you wanted
a place to call your own
