Cracked mirrors on dusty walls Fingers stiff clutch casket palls Shoulder grinds on busted hinge Joints screaming they sting and twinge Spine is twisted spiraled with spite Jawbone ticks in the dead of night But old bones don't break They don't whine or shout They soldier on Waiting the thunder out Old bones still swing Old bones still sting Old bones still bite Old bones still fight Skeleton's grin cracked and wide Skull-torch shines burn X-ray bright Old bones don't sit right We ain't done tonight Criss-cross cracks etched in ribs Above the split where my sternum gives They said you're done too old for this But these old bones still resist Two dislocated hellfire grin Fractured femurs wrapped in past sins Would bet the lot for one more shot Split the marrow Go till it rots Old bones still swing Old bones still sting Old bones still bite Old bones still fight Skeleton's grin cracked and wide Skull-torch shines burn X-ray bright Old bones don't quit don't write We ain't done tonight Distal stented radius split Clavicle crushed and wrenched a bit Still I strike back when others break With busted knuckles and a jaw that aches Held my ribs when the pavement hit Spit out blood taped up the splint I don't bend when the scaffold groans I just bare down through the gallow stone Old bones still swing Old bones still sting Old bones still bite Old bones still fight Skeleton's grin cracked and wide Skull-torch shines burn X-ray bright Old bones don't sit right Ain't done tonight
