Bonedigger Songtext
von Adult Jazz

We clip the tail and he does not forget
And cut his claws to kitchen feet
Here is a mark of my legless interest
A living lump, collar and keep

Will it hold your hand?
Will it hold your hand?
Feel the wounds that I have?
Feel the wounds that I have?

Bonedigger, bonedigger
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley
I never, I never, I never, I never
Heart in the valley
His heart in the valley


Bonedigger, bonedigger
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Heart in the valley
His heart in the valley
I never, I never, I never, I never
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley

We cut the claws and he does not forget
The simplest unmuzzled way
Now he is packless and human instead
No common tongue or thing to say

We split the litter and he does not forget
Sleeping in piles and nuzzling
Once we decided which creature to get
His useless mother, she did nothing

Will it hold your hand?
Will it hold your hand?
Feel the wounds that I have?
Feel the wounds that I have?

Bonedigger, bonedigger
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley
I never, I never, I never, I never
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley


Bonedigger, bonedigger
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley
I never, I never, I never, I never
Heart in the valley, his heart in the valley

All of you, all of you
Eat, all of you
I feast alone, I feast alone
I feast alone
All of you, all of you
Eat, all of you
I feast alone, I feast alone
I feast alone

He′s at the bottom of us, he's at the bottom of us, he′s at the bottom of us, he's at the bottom of us
Tips the bowl, tips the bowl, tips the bowl, tips the bowl
He's at the bottom of us, hes at the bottom of us, hes at the bottom of us, he′s at the bottom of us
Tips the bowl, tips the bowl, tips the bowl, tips the bowl
He tips the bowl over, he tips the bowl over, he tips the bowl over, he tips the bowl over
And the pat hand could convey nothing
And likewise, the lick is not love
