Brass and Bones

Intro

Oh oh

Ayy ayy ayy

Mm mm

Verse 1

Spilling spirits for the phantom kin

The heavy humid air is pushing in

Stomp

Grind the gravel

The copper kettle steam rises up from the bottom of the bin

Pre-Chorus

Shadows growing tall

Shadows starting to crawl

Shadows hear the call

Chorus

Bring the brass back to the bones

Swing it till the old folk find their way home

Find their way home

Bring the brass back to the bones

Post-Chorus

Stomp stomp

Shake it out

Stomp stomp

Move around

Verse 2

Grandma watching through a golden frame

She only comes when the drummer shouts her name

Twisting

Spinning circles like a bird

Watch the lizard skin turn red beneath the kitchen candle flame

Pre-Chorus

Shadows growing tall

Shadows starting to crawl

Shadows hear the call

Chorus

Bring the brass back to the bones

Swing it till the old folk find their way home

Find their way home

Bring the brass back to the bones

Post-Chorus

Stomp stomp

Shake it out

Stomp stomp

Move around

Bridge

Voodoo hands and heavy heat

Broken rhythms in the middle of the street

I call the father

I call the mother

I call the hunter

Nobody sleeping while the gods compete

Chorus

Bring the brass back to the bones

Swing it till the old folk find their way home

Find their way home

Bring the brass back to the bones
