neat little rows

Singer:elbow

my high priest is folded neatly

back in your box

oh lord

gone the song he sang so sweetly

back in your box

oh lord

found myself astride a tiger

lifted my head

just like he said

drown me now in down of eider

get me to bed

oh lord

lay my bones in the cobblestones

lay my bones in neat little rows

lay my bones in the cobblestones

lay my bones in neat little rows

angels and idols spiraling wild

wind in your necks

oh lord

landed gentry line up behind me

wind in your necks

oh lord

smokey progress back room sages

let me back in

put back the pin

'cause now i've found those torn out pages

can't read the text

oh lord

lay my bones in the cobblestones

lay my bones in neat little rows

lay my bones in the cobblestones

lay my bones in neat little rows

in the house where they grew you

there were secrets and mistakes

that the eyes that see through you

would give anything to erase

but picture them counting your fingers

waiting for the focus of your eyes

no no don't point fingers

fingers are for pointing at the sky

no no don't point fingers

fingers are for pointing at the sky
