Eyepennies

[Verse 1] I will return here one day And dig up my bones from the clay I buried nails and strings and hair And that old tooth I believe was a bear's [Chorus 1] I held my hand in the fire It burned me down to the wires [Verse 2] Blood suckers hide beneath my bed And black fumes of sleep so gently bled I slept with a cat on my breast Slowing my heart, stealing my breath [Chorus 2] At sunrise, the monkeys will fly And leave me with pennies in my eyes [Verse 3] I will return here one day And dig up my bones from the clay I buried nails and string and hair And that old tooth I believe was a bear's [Chorus 2] At sunrise the monkeys will fly And leave me with pennies in my eyes
