He was born in the wilderness Baptized in the river of tears By a long-legged woman with a torch in her hand He said "Don't bring me back to life I was born in the wrong place and time" But they paid him in blood So he sang for his supper again It goes rattle and sway Just bones in a cage It goes rattle and sway Just bones in a cage And now he sits by the window Sipping hot tea in a quiet room Singing songs of salvation to an empty tomb He said "If God is a skeleton Then heaven is just a quiet room And I'll be waiting for you" She was born on a battlefield Where the blood turned the water to wine With a high-tension wire in the palm of her hand She said "They don't need another messiah I was born in the wrong place and time But I'll put on my best suit and dance for the damned" It goes rattle and sway Just bones in a cage It goes rattle and sway Just bones in a cage And now she sits by the window Sipping hot tea in a quiet room Singing songs of salvation to an empty tomb She said "If God is a skeleton Then heaven is just a quiet room And I'll be waiting for you"
