Jersey - Old Bones And Dirty Coffins lyrics

A good job, good home

But you chose the streets as a place to go

Taking on the uniform to wear loud and proud

But underneath it all, a teenage suburban girl

With her parents and a brother and a sister that miss her

And they can't figure out why she's not listening

[Chorus]

And she's sleeping 6 feet deep tonight

Sleeping...

She's got old bones and dirty coffins

They can't be better than broken homes

Lonely fossil lying in the cold

Unconditional love and protection from the cold

It all came down to one long cruel night

She took but one shot to the vein

And time stood still she'll never be the same

And now she realizes the streets aren't fun and games

[Chorus]

Feel the chill as time stood still

The rain came and the angels sang

I watched the people come and go

The black cars lined row by row

And Jenny's parents are left to weep

While her spirit sleeps on the concrete

[Chorus]

And it's do or die, and death or glory

When choose the streets stricken by the devils and the cheats

And they'll take your soul and turn you inside out
