The Ballad of the Broken Bones

Lyrics

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
