Jersey - Old Bones And Dirty Coffins Lyrics

A good job, good home
But you chose the streets as a place to go
Taking on the uniform to wear loud and proud

But underneath it all, a teenage suburban girl
With her parents and a brother and a sister that miss her
Can't figure out why she's not listening

And she's sleeping 6 feet deep tonight, sleeping
She's got old bones and dirty coffins
They can't be better than broken homes
Lonely fossil lying in the cold

Unconditional love and protection
From the cold
It all came down to one long cruel night

She took but one shot to the vein
And time stood still she'll never be the same
And now she realizes the streets aren't fun and games

And she's sleeping 6 feet deep tonight, sleeping
She's got old bones and dirty coffins
They can't be better than broken homes
Lonely fossil lying in the cold, lying

Feel the chill as time stood still
The rain came and the angels sang
I watched the people come and go
The black cars lined row by row
And Jenny's parents were to weep
While her spirit sleeps on the concrete

Sleeping 6 feet deep tonight, sleeping
She got, she's got old bones and dirty coffins
They can't be better than broken homes
Lonely fossil lying in the cold

And it's do or die it's death or glory
(Sleeping)
When choose the streets stricken by the devils and the cheats
(Sleeping)
And they'll take your soul and turn you inside out

Sleeping
Sleeping
Sleeping
Sleeping
