Matisse - Bleeding Knees lyrics

When I was 91 I heard my nanny say Cross crone's bones and genes And cry your tears away Kick balls away and lure bees And buzz about the trees In my days of bleeding knees When I was 88 I had a flyswatter It was my scepter Skeptical as I was About my psycho daughter Rambled about languid Dangling boys and schmaltzy flies And that's when I k**ed One of them between your eyes Gone you lover Aren't you there? The bully rabble always wiggling bare Gone you lover Aren't you there? The bully rabble always laughing bare When I was 22 I heard two mice squealing I caught them and dissected them Relishing the spilling Dug them a grave deep in my pillow In my kingly cave Back then I was really brave When I was 10 I had a gun a real one I turned it to the sky And tried to shoot the sun Dazzled I fell in heavy sleep And there I dreamt myself out on the run Singing about k**ing puppies just for fun Gone you lover Aren't you there? The bully rabble always wiggling bare Gone you lover Aren't you there? The bully rabble always laughing bare When I was 91 I heard my nanny say Cross crone's bones and genes And cry your tears away Kick balls away and lure bees And buzz about the trees In my days of bleeding knees When I was 88 I had a flyswatter It was my scepter Skeptical as I was About my psycho daughter Rambled about languid Dangling boys and schmaltzy flies And that's when I k**ed One of them between your eyes When I was 88 I had a flyswatter It was my scepter Skeptical as I was About my silly daughter You had a toilet brush And we were giving morbid battles every night With knees Bleeding till the morning light
