lyrics

Sassafras supernova
That's the sound of me making love to ya
That's a ribbon on your loneliness
And the sweaty tongue of a buffoon's kiss

Your father's not your elder
You got no reason to call him sir
He's a lot more like a homeless man
Who comes begging for the past whenever he can

This old bag of bones
No wonder why you're lonely
Is pretty sure you been living on your own
You know that's what they say
Chase them skeletons away
Hey hey hey
Don't you know they only lead you astray

Your lonely hours only count down to gloom
When each day brings a message that darkens your moon
And a make-believe tragic notion
That we all live with that emotion

Don't keep yourself so lonely now
You make it hard for us who've come to bow
You are my paint's turpentine
My necessary waste of time

This old bag of bones
No wonder why you're lonely
Is pretty sure you been living on your own
You know that's what they say
Chase them skeletons away
Hey hey hey
Don't you know they only lead you astray
