elvis costello - drum and bone lyrics

Loading...

[chorus 1]
maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone
blare and rubber
eyes that blubber
t–th that bite
hands that slight

[chorus 2]
and i’m trying to do the best i can
but i’m a limited, primitive kind of man

[chorus 1]
maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone
blare and rubber
eyes that blubber
t–th that bite
hands that slight

[verse 1]
mounds of dust and lips of ripe
twice as vicious
as the words i type
under a ribbon
of every stripe

there’s a grip that tightens
a dark that frightens
a wise that crackles
a fear that shackles

[chorus 2]
and i’m trying to do the best i can
but i’m a limited, primitive kind of man

[verse 2]
and then that kinder creation
becomes a fine fixation
all of a sudden
with the parts we’ve hidden
because they are forbidden

beneath a hide of pain
you’ll find a soul of stain
while fists still beat
at heart’s deceit

[chorus 2]
and i’m trying to do the best i can
but i’m a limited, primitive kind of man

[chorus 1]
maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone
blare and rubber
eyes that blubber
t–th that bite
hands that slight

[bridge]
pig some skin
stretch it tight
make myself up overnight

[chorus 1]
maybe we’re nothing but skin and bone
blare and rubber
eyes that blubber
t–th that bite
hands that slight

[verse 3]
dig my pin
kick up some stink
find myself a brand new kink

pr-ck that berry
and squeeze this ink
scratch out all of the words i think
before your very eyes can blink

[chorus 2]
and i’m trying to do the best i can
but i’m a limited, primitive kind of man
