Bone Towers
Here it's comes again, another mile marker
All this self reflecting can't be good for the soul
This time of year it seems it only gets darker
So it's back in the saddle or back in the hole
The way you look at me considered forgetting
whatever first put the gleam in your eye
No major tragedy Nothing upsetting
Its just that time of year stuff withers and dies
Looking up at the Bone towers
I saw you waving from the 23rd floor
Concrete skeletons of lost power
Nobody ever goes up there any more
I've seen these monuments to lost faces
Waving their signal flags and trying to break thru
The cries of strangers in strange places
I never thought that the stranger was you
Looking up at the bone towers
I hear you calling from the 23rd floor
But no ones ever there at this hour
No one's ever really up there anymore
I hear coyotes and hyenas A cry of mercy and hard truth
Here in the ruins of the arena Hard love and lost youth
Civilization couldn't quit finish No glass no beauty Just rebar and brick
A empty wishing pool with mud in it I throw my penny in and wish that it sticks
I see our love like a bone tower A plaster poster for the grand campaign
A wreath , a garland of dead flowers I don't think I'm going up there again ..
I'm looking up at the bone towers I see us falling from the 23rd floor
Two shooting stars, we're like a meteor shower
Maybe baby , that's what the towers are for
I see our love like a bone tower A plaster poster for the grand campaign
A wreath, a garland of dead flowers Maybe you could take me up there again
