In the mist of the mornin'
While the beast was asleep
Woke up with a plan so brilliant, I could not believe
My mother and father
Doctor and friends
Don't tell them, don't trust them, they won't understand
If you can't win the battle
It's better to run

Bury it down with my soul
Down in my soul
Down with my soul
Where they'll never find me

My bones
My bones

Way out in the garden
way out in the fields
So far from these civilized nations, their discord and deals

The birds, they all know it
They showed it to me
Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree
Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree
Its roots are still growin'
It died long ago

Bury it down with my soul
Down in my soul
Down with my soul
Where they'll never find me

My bones
My bones
My bones
My bones

Follow me
Don't follow me
(Follow me) when I was young, I could perfectly see
Now I'm as blind, blind as a girl can be
(Follow me) out of insanity into ecstasy
We all sin, so why am I so guilty?
Back to the trenches of the life I lead
This hole, the only place that I can be free
And out on the deep blue sea
Is where, is where I'll be
Don't follow me!

In the mist of the mornin'
While the beast was asleep
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
