lyrics

Bones of Clay
May 21, 1991

they tell me I should save my soul
repent, oh sinner
repent -
repent -

but I just laugh and tell them
I'll live my life and die in time
I'll leave behind my bones
so why repent what I've not done
when I have done to my intent?

I'll sing a song for you, if you like
and you can sing along

the only corpse I wish to leave
is one to help the flowers grow
the only time I wish to pray
is when I write the words
if you say this leads a bad life
maybe to me it felt most right
so when the hang man comes for me
I'll face him without fear

I have done as best I can
by my design, no less
I listened to your words my preacher
but bowed not down as you'd suggest
my thanks to all your good concern
but my thoughts struck me as true
I do not claim that you were wrong
but here my song will do
