Growing Bones -

She was older than me when she came into my

life she was my best friend’s mother my lover

The only mother I ever had

She told me not to worry not to be afraid

As she led me to her bedroom this is what she’d say

We’re Alone now

growing bones now

to come alive you have to set yourself free

Don’t Be Afraid now

you’d be amazed how

growing bones it comes so naturally

She was innocent in her own peculiar way

she was my best friend’s mother my lover

The best teacher I ever had

She told me what she wanted

Never Let Me Go astray

as she led me to her bedroom this is what she’d say

We’re Alone now

growing bones now

To come alive you got to set yourself free

Don’t Be Afraid now

you’d be amazed how

growing bones it comes so naturally

Deflowered by a legend

she had my best intentions at heart

she showed me things

such wonderful things

growing bones nearly blew my mind

I learned by her example

I never thought the process was strange

I lost some things search innocent things

growing bones is what I blame

Why can’t you face it

You can’t erase this

We’re Alone Now

growing bones now

to come alive you got to set yourself free

Don’t Be Afraid now

you’d be amazed how

growing bones it comes

So naturally

Why can’t you face this

you can’t erase this
