Rubber & Bone Lyrics

No pretty trees here
No sweet breeze
You'd better leather wrap your baby feet
Lift your chin up
Connect your eyes
To the half dead with hearts still alive

Yes they have names too
(Don't forget)
It could happen to you
(You will too)
Starving souls need faith
(I respect)
Recognize a living dead
(Won't forget)
Downtown is a ghetto
Where the curbs have space
There's humans, abandoned
Complying
Hot light in their hopeless faces

The dirt to coat
Green grass to mow
Broken glass, oh
Rubber & bone

Where the river dumps
Our trash and smut
Under our fingernails
Under our rug

Yes they have names too
(Don't forget)
It could happen to you
(You will too)
Starving souls need faith
(I respect)
Recognize a living dead

Downtown is a ghetto
Where the curbs have space
There's humans, abandoned
Complying
Hot light in their hopeless faces

Feeding for [?]
Handshake of time
[?] microcosm
To the center of your mind

Yes they have names too
(Don't forget)
It could happen to you
(You will too)
Starving souls need faith
(I respect)
Recognize a living dead

Downtown is a ghetto
Where the curbs have space
There's humans, abandoned
Complying
Hot light in their worn out faces

Downtown is a ghetto
Where the curbs have space
There's humans, abandoned
Complying
Hot light in their hopeless faces
