Bear - O'Brother

In bed your body burns just like a fire

And your eyes they twitch under lids from side to side

And my ego can’t seem to get a grip

I’ll simplify, simplify the terms I’m leaving

Until my body lays under leaves and green-green grass

By then my ego might finally get a grip

I’ll let my lover lie

And in absence I’ll drink tonight

With tired limbs, indecent mind

And beggar’s bones, beggar’s bones, beggar’s

I’ll let my lover lie

And in absence I’ll drink tonight

With tired limbs, indecent mind

And beggar’s bones, beggar’s bones, beggar’s

I’ll let my lover lie

I could patiently seek another chance

Or I could cut you deep with a simple glance

I loathe your hesitance

I loathe your hesitance

I’ll let my lover lie

And in absence I’ll drink tonight

With tired limbs, indecent mind

And beggar’s bones, beggar’s bones, beggar’s

So lay like a monument

To poise and indifference

Betrayed by retreating lips

To baring teeth, baring teeth, baring

I’ll trade my vindictive sigh

For quarter of witless spite

Til I, like my lover

Lie with beggar’s bones, beggar’s bones, beggar’s

Til I let my lover

Lay like you know

I swallowed my hungry pride

And let it all go

For the sake of a better life

Lay like you know

I swallowed my hungry pride

And let it all go

For the sake of a better life
