Angels caught up with me today
They asked me where I'd been
All I could do is sweat and mumble and stumble away
They just wouldn't understand and nor would you, nor would anyone at all
It's a curse, a stone that I don't own
Someone else's bones beat me further down the road
I was having such a lovely time
I didn't even notice you
My ivory beanstalk is such a very long and lonely climb
The clouds got in the way, it's in my blood, maybe only in my head
Well, I will try to clone my only throne
Someone else's bones isolate and pain me so
I kneel down, I kiss your holy debris
I feel the cleansing rust raining down on me
Well, it's much too lonely there, and much too dark to see
That someone else's bones have run away with me
I kneel down, I kiss your holy debris
Well, I feel the cleansing rust raining down, down on me
Well, it's much too lonely there, and much too dark to see
That someone else's bones have run away with me
