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
