lyrics

I took a long walk
On the ocean floor
I couldn't even breathe the air no more
Forgot all the things
I thought i knew before
Until the sea spit me back upon the shore.

Feel asleep
In the permanent night of the moon.
That sad, sad light
Woke me up too soon
With a slap in the face
Now I'm back to war
And a whole lotta fear is trying
To get thru my door.

CHORUS:
Bread and the bone
Bread and the bone
Straight to the water in the heart of a stone
You put your lips to the cup
And the rubber on the road
Gotta get back to the bread and the bone.

I put on the dog and that pretty little piece of business
And kick against the pricks from hell to breakfast
Spend all day listening to the same old lies
And at night they become my new lullabies.

CHORUS

Shonuff for real, i ain't one of the chosen
I often feel like my wheels is frozen
The thoughts I conceal are starting to close in.
I made a lot of calls on the red telephone
Done a few things my mama can't condone
I'm an ass in lions skin, a wolf in cheap clothes
Looking like Elvis dying on his throne.

I took a long walk on the ocean floor
Couldn't even breathe the air no more
Forgot all the things I thought I knew before
Until the sea spit me back upon the shore

It's a crying shame the way the crows have flown
All the roads are paved to the great unknown
If you're the queen honey bee
I'm just some low down drone
Why are we treating each other like we wanna be alone.

CHORUS
