bare bones

Lyrics

i remember what my daddy taught me, 'bout how warm whiskey is in a cold ditch, and one more thing about good and evil, you can't tell which is which, well, if the rest is lost in history, or maybe wasted on a fool like me, and that these bare bones, would leave me something after all, old hamlet's done now, dead and gone, and there's no ghost who walks, poor yorik tells you everything he knows, with no tongue to talk, it seems the truth is hidden where the sun don't shine, and i'm never certain if it's theirs or mine, it's just the bare bones, they give you that much after all, they preached the gospel down in metairie, they preached it in school, it never made much sense to me, wonder if it was supposed to, you go on down to millionaires road, watch a while, tell me what you see, the truth itself, nothing but a gamble, it might or might not set you free, i guess, my old man was hard to read, and i don't really know what i believed, but in these bare bones, there's something lovely after all
