AQUALUNG LYRICS - Broken Bones

"Broken Bones"



Picking up broken words

Snipping the tips off

Grinding down the long ones

That wind around your eardrums



Dangerous plastic words

For crowd dispersal

And dumb dumb words

That could blow your head off



[Chorus]

This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you, oh

I just need a little more time with you



One fine day you'll sing

Your inevitable love song

Inevitable lie song



Inevitable cry song



Time bends broken bones

Time bends broken bones

'Til they wrap around your throat

And snap around your fingers



[Chorus]

This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you, oh



Down by the water and the tide keeps rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you

Oh, I just need a little more time with you

Oh please, just a little more time with you
