Skeletone Machine - 2022
Kingdom Come With Me
Shake down Chicago // Break down Tennessee
I got the fire, sweet baby // C’mon and play with me
Come on down to kingdom come with me
Daddy momma don’t know // What they can’t see
Slide down to the street sweet baby // C’mon and dance with me
You stole the soul // Right outta my eyes
Storms comin baby // Let’s ride it out all night
Rain Catch Flame
You gotta kiss that tastes like a pistol // Let my fingers braid round your shoulder blades
Strap your leather coat close to your throat // Gonna smoke so hot, you just might choke
You make the rain catch flame
You’re the pearl under my tongue
Gonna dance til the storm is done
You make the rain catch flame
I’m wearing dimes on my eyes // The city’s on stage but has forgotten its lines
The buildings are all holding their breath // Storm’s coming in wearing a leather dress
You got the moon in the palm of your hand // Your the leader of the skeleton band
Pearl handled, an iron rose // You’re the queen of forever road
Riding on into the light
I drag my body up off your floor // That’s where I poured it the night before
Morning comes, like it always does // Ain’t nothing been the same since the war
Oh, but this old train keeps riding Riding on into the night
Riding on up into the light
Now the train don’t come to the station // The windows ain’t got no glass
The boys are all hiding from the fire in the sky // Well, they’re hiding under the grass
There’s men who talk about freedom // To the boys tied to the chairs
Ain’t no freedom in this here Garden of Eden // Just the jackboots coming up the back stairs
Skeletone Machine
I’m seein my picture flicker on a telephone pole // Sky’s crackin it’s eyes the color of coal
Seein everywhere with an electric stare // Weaving wires up into your hair
Every day is like a fist fight with a lightning strike
Bleedin gasoline, skeletone machine
Cross my heart, oh don’t tell me no lies // Stick a needle up into the digital sky
Is the devil in my pocket or in my mind? // Is the devil in my wallet or in my eyes?
Where does the machine end and where do I begin again?
