Bones
Radiohead
I don't wanna be crippled cracked
shoulders, wrists, knees and back
ground to dust and ash
crawling on all fours
when you've got to feel it in your bones
now I can't climb the stairs
peices missing everywhere
prozak painkillers
when you've got to feel it in your bones
I used to fly like peter pan
all the children flew when I touched their hands
you see, you've got to feel it in your bones

never wrestle with a pig.
you both get dirty;
