  • My high priest is folded neatly, back in your box, oh Lord
    Call the song he sang so sweetly, back in your box, oh Lord
    Found myself astride a tiger, lifting my head, just like you said
    Drown me now in doubt of ire, get me to bed, oh Lord

    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows
    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows

    Angels and idols, spiraling wild, windin' your necks, oh Lord
    Landed gentry, ride on behind me, windin' your necks, oh Lord
    Smokey progress, back room changes, let me back in, put back the pin
    'Cause now I found those sought out pages, can't read the text, oh Lord

    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows
    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows

    In the house, where they grew you
    There were secrets and mistakes
    That the eyes that see through you
    Would give anything to erase
    But picture they're counting your fingers
    Waiting for the focus of your eyes
    No no, don't point fingers
    Fingers are for pointing at the sky
    No no, don't point fingers
    Fingers are for pointing at the sky

    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows
    Lay my bones in cobblestones
    Lay my bones in neat little rows Writer/s: CRAIG LEE POTTER, GUY EDWARD JOHN GARVEY, MARK ELLIS POTTER, MARK POTTER, PETER JAMES TURNER, RICHARD BARRY JUPP
