In the bones
In your place of greater safety
in the place that they called home
the devil reached in to slap you
and he wore your father's clothes
and it hurt you
and you felt it
deep
in your bones
you said nothing
the storm it came and took you
and it threw you into the corn
and now you don't know where you are
and now you don't know where you are
and there's no one left to help you
but those people who will help you
because they know how hard you landed
and they know just how that feels
in the bones
and the corn is as high as an elephant's eye
and you were not in Kansas anymore
and it doesn't seem to matter
if you stand or if you fall
but it matters
oh yes it matters
it matters
it's all that matters
now the past is a long time going
and the future is a long time coming
but it's coming, you can feel it
in your bones
it doesn't really matter
that you're not in Kansas anymore
you're in a place of greater safety
leaning your head on your own shoulder
you can be delighted
you're not in Kansas anymore
and each day the family leaves you, you feel it less
in the bones
in the bones
