Verse 1

 I got these crazy dreams just don't know what they mean

 Sometimes I dream so loud it wakes up dead folks underground

Hatches baby birds and shakes em on down

 Makes the weeping willow trees cry themselves brown

Chorus

Let 'em break your bones

 Don't let 'em take your soul

 Fill your heart up let it explode

Don't let it turn cold

Verse 2

The only things that I recall as a witness to the slaughter

Was the muddy and bloody water and the farmer's youngest daughter

Covered in blood and feathers playing with a dead rabbit

She smiled like a centerfold reached out saying “come and get it”

Verse 3

I found a dying angel after the mutiny in heaven

When I asked her what happened she said “look up there and you can see them”

I saw white wings torn off and caught in the razor wire

They did their best to bust out but they couldn't get any higher

Verse 4

A clown tattooed vomit on his chin teardrops on his cheeks

He painted nails on his hands and he nailed hooves to his feet

His dying words were befriend a man who can settle for less

But beware the poor creature who will kill for the best

Verse 5

He pissed tulips she bled a rose I cried stinging nettle

We were all at ground zero waiting for the dust to settle

She said “I'm a morning glory won't you open me slowly”

He said “I'm a dandelion come over here and blow me”

Verse 6

She was standing in her darkened doorway wearing nothing but a Cuban guitar

Her leather strap wrapped over her shoulder she was sucking an electric cigar

She said “Why are you so quiet if you don't believe in silence?”

I cried “Why is my nose broken if you don't believe in violence?”
