Vagabond Soul

Bone Cross

She wears a bone cross on her chest
she is better than the rest
simply verified within her mind
she was a favorite thing
like the words
Paul did sing
undenounced baby hardly pronounced

she keeps bringing 'em down

neighbor Joe beats on his wife
a well regarded man he just might
reconcile all the while he keeps drinking
she hits on me with the abandon of a kite
a bruised cheek and her pants too tight
is there something more to this I missed?

she just keeps bringing him down
she is dragging him down
down to his knees cold and docile
murdered like history found like fossil

I always dream of things at their worst
this just the plight of my lost parents'
curse to forever chase their shadows
off my walls
but I'm pleading with you still a little big
of sugar to take with these pills before
I become the dead bastard son

she just keeps bringing him down
she is dragging him down
down to his knees cold and docile
murdered like history found like fossil
