Ashes and Bone lyrics

It's no secret everyone says that I am kinda sleazy

but what you asked me to do when you died left me kinda queasy

You were worried after you were gone that you'd leave me all alone

With your last breath you whispered in my ear and then you were gone

Now I've got you in an urn that sits up on a shelf

Day and night with no-one around I use it to amuse myself

Every day at four o'clock you and I make tea

All this time I was inside you now you're getting inside of me

Ashes and bone

Hard as a stone

Every night about the usual time we head off to bed

We don't need to change our routine just because you are dead

I have to admit, I like it, almost as much as before

Though some of you gets into the sheets, and some of you on the floor

In the morning I find traces of you smeared across my face

on the counters, in the air, scattered all over the place

On the lampshade, on the clock, even on the stair

Other places I won't mention I'll let you figure out where

Ashes and bone

hard as a stone

leave me alone

with my ashes and bone

Ashes and bone

I'm not alone

not on my own

with my ashes and bone.
