The Phantom Band - Throwing Bones lyrics

You tempt my temper Oh low and likely Left where the dust decays Abide and count my days I throw some stones down in a valley fair Neither old nor wiser I'll reel and falter Don't play that part Don't sing in circle tongue To call the lightening down You threw my bones down on a desert's floor Like a rolling riser I'm gettin' up, I'm getting up, I'm gettin' up And I'll follow slowly My skeleton walks It rises from the earth And it screams your name out To never cast another curse Come now, come faster With luck in tow Her live encircling So go around and start again And when you fine me I may be struck down But like a rolling riser I'm gettin' up, I'm comin' up, I'm gettin' up
