Ben Lyrics & Tabs by New Settlement Road
Ben
guitar chords lyrics
Ben is only skin and bone
Scattered teeth like little stones
Bring down, bring down the empire
Standing in the lane
By the gates of the mission
Tell the bloomin' rain
I need some sunlight to satisfy my brain
I was one, among the highest of pillars
I tried to rattle that cage
Until the doors flung wide and the vultures came
I was once like you, my friend
I could see through all of those trends
Yes I could
Ben is only skin and bone
Scattered teeth like little stones
Yes I could
Ben is only skin and bone
Scattered teeth like little stones
Bring down, bring down the empire
I would catch the morning train with a head full of numbers
I could see no truth
Neck deep in the Fin Review
Oh, I was once, among the highest of pillars
Until the doors flung wide and the vultures came
There's a place I lay my head
Near a Coles sign, a fire escape
There's no escape
Ben is only skin and bone
Scattered teeth like little stones
Bring down, bring down the empire
Winter wraps around his bones
Only grey clouds break the cold
Rain down, rain down
Ben is only skin and bone
Tried to swim against the tide alone
Carries on and makes his home
Where the breezes whip the cobbled stones
