lyrics

Wake me up,
Before you go now.
Let me touch
The railroad lines.

Let me sleep,
By the stairwell.
Fore we all fall,
And angels disappear.

Sit before me,
Gather 'round.
Hear the stories
Of men who walked this ground.

In the sunroom,
By the backdoor.
I can hear those,
Lanterns rattlin'.

Rattle my bones 'till I fall.
Rattle my bones 'till I fall.
Rattle my bones 'till something comes loose.
Rattle my bones 'till I fall.

Let me breathe,
Through the sickness.
Part the sea,
And let those people in.

Won't you follow,
Whores and half-bakes.
Down the hallway,
The doorman waits for them.

Listen closely.
In the backroom,
You can hear those
Lanterns rattlin'

Rattle my bones 'till I fall.
Rattle my bones 'till I fall.
Rattle my bones 'till something comes loose.
Rattle my bones 'till I fall.
