PRIMUS - Restin' Bones lyrics

rate me

Came up on a worried man, asked him if he had a light.<br>He reached on down, dug in his shoe, figured in his sock he might.<br>He asked if he could come and join, at what we was partakin' in.<br>I says,ol' soul if you got a match, you also got yourself a friend.<br><br>The smoke drew hard but laid in good, the neon gave us extra shine.<br>We passed around a flask of knockando, and a half litre bottle of wine.<br>The worried man dropped down to his knees, and let out with a somber groan.<br>He looked up to me and when I asked, he said,I'm just restin' my bones.<br><br>I looked down at him, and him up at me, then a smile rose above his chin.<br>He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down, said, listen to me now my friend.<br>When I was your age I did it all, more than many men could do,<br>Now my possessions are the ones I wear on my back, and this lighter I keep in my shoe.<br><br>That's why I'm restin' my bones.<br><br>I'm restin' my bones for the times I fell, fell and hit myself on the ground.<br>Restin' my bones for the loneliness, of being the only genius around.<br>I'm restin' my bones for prosperity, in hopes that it'll do me some good.<br>I'm restin' bones from amphetamines, see they turned teeth to balsa wood.<br>I'm restin' bones for johnny cash, 'cause for me and mine he's wearin' black.<br>I'll be restin' my bones for elvis, I seen him last week at the track.<br>If I'm restin' bones and you come along, just try and tippy toe on by.<br>'cause when I'm restin' bones I hope to sleep, and maybe slip away and die.
