Mother Mother - Body Of Years/Gouge Away Lyrics

All the remains of a cadaver of days
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case
I wanna visit that place
Blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone
Just a body of years

See the skin disappears
And the blood turns to stone
In a body of years now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul
It's a body of years that I leave all alone

It's just a body of years
Now a pile of bones, you know
Old soul who falls down
Can't stop trippin' on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up and get my foot in the door
And my face on the page
Make my mark in the world
With a bat and a blade
It's a body of work that you can't ever change
Like a body of years that you take to your grave
It's just a body of years that I leave all alone
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul

Old soul who falls down
Can't stop tripping on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up and I'm a
Body of years, body of years, body of years (old soul who falls down)
Body of years, it's just a body of years (can't stop tripping on these)
Body of years, body of years, body of years (old roads)

It's just a body of years that I leave all alone
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul
Like a pile of shit I can't seem to forget
Just a body of years that I leave all alone

Tell-tale diary pages
They unveil a ghost from the ages
When bodies of years were breaking from all of the weight of
Diary pages
Tell-tale diary pages

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions
You stroke my locks
Some marijuana
If you got some

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to (ah, ah)

Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Alright, thank you so much, folks
Very excited to be here, we love this city
And we appreciate the invitation
From Apple and iTunes
It's a great stage
I personally have a dysfunctional relationship with technology
And don't spend enough time in Apple stores
But uh, this is a nice way to redeem myself, I think
This is great, thanks for showin' up guys
