Shattered Bones Songtext
von Kula Shaker

In the twilight hour
In my Ivory tower
Staring out across the Sea
I can see the lightning
I can read the writing
I can see what had to be
It had to be

I just cannot understand
How you can call yourself a man
And give away your liberty

Lay me down, lay me down
Go lay these shattered bones
I′m coming home, I'm coming home
Go lay these shattered bones


On a lonesome prairie
Under sky-blue heavens
Roamed a cowboy refugee
Nowhere left to go
But the Alamo, just a one-man cavalry
To fight the tyranny

Lay me down, lay me down
Go lay these shattered bones
I′m coming home, I'm coming home
Go lay these shattered bones

Ooh-oh, some are born to see the light
Ooh-oh, some are born to endless night
Some are born to see the light

In my twilight hour
In my Ivory tower
Gazing into an endless Sea
Here it comes, the lightning
I can read the writing
I can see what had to be
It had to be

Lay me down, lay me down
Go lay these shattered bones
I'm coming home, I′m coming home
Go lay these shattered bones
(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
