Flesh & Bones (Live)

[Verse 1]

It's the first day of spring with clean air in the wind

Everything is just like it should be

The roads are jammed up with lorries and cars

And I'm standing in the street with my hand upon my heart

This is the place that I used to know

But it's been wiped away and put up for show

I'm all alone in the middle of a crowd

I open my mouth and scream a silent shout

[Chorus]

Well, I jumped out of bed, had my first cigarette

It made my body feel sick but helped my mind relax

The cranes are moving on the skyline

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

These times, they are a-changing

But I'm being left behind

Everybody's running

Trying to catch up with their lives

[Verse 2]

The hypocrites on the television screens

Are trying to disguise what they really mean

They say things are getting better

When we know they getting worse

While they're buying bigger guns from a shrinking purse

The stink and sweat and the flesh and bones

Have been replaced and are being sold

Not for melting down for pills and soap

But as draft stoppers to keep out the cold

[Chorus]

Well, I jumped out of bed, had my first cigarette

It made my body feel sick but helped my mind relax

The cranes are moving on the skyline

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

These times, they are a-changing

But I'm being left behind

Everybody's running

Trying to catch up with their lives

[Outro]

The cranes are moving in the twilight

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

The cranes are moving in the twilight

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

The cranes are moving in the twilight

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

The cranes are moving in the twilight

And the water is dripping from the kitchen tap

Everybody's running

Trying to catch up with their lives

Everybody's running

Trying to catch up with their lives
