The Ballad Of The Broken Bones

Tell me who was it told you 'bout the broken bones

The broken bones in the sky

'Cause I've been all over the whole goddamn world

And over the world am I

Now the moon it ain't nothing but an old rotten bone

Hung from the ceiling so high

It reminds kids to grow and reminds them to dream

But over the world am I

So my friends if you're worried

Don't worry about me

The grasses are green here

The winters are mild

And the hunger is passing

It's just a sensation

And over the world am I

Up in the city it's panic and toil

In every fiber and vein

All dressed up like kings in their robes of desire

The poets are going insane

But I've been to the ocean her salts they do heal

And washed me anew in her tides

And now I ride easy down her cool wide waves

And over the world am I
