I was born in a mortuary
Full of worry
Ice water in my veins
Gave my heart in the school library
Never knew her name

Lost my tongue in the sanctuary
"Heaven spare me!"
Hands raised above my head
Sent my brain to the seminary
Never seen again...

Swing low
Grey bones
I don't know
If I'll ever be whole again

Left my spine in the wedding chapel
Full of people
Feet turning into lead
Lost a leg at the iron foundry
Where they found me dead

Drained my blood at the mortuary
No more worry
Ice water in my veins
Took my bones to the cemetary
Where they still remain

Swing low
Grey bones
I don't know
If I'll ever be whole again

I'm disappointed when the track said Organ Donor this is the song I wanted to hear:

DJ Shadow - Organ Donor

:P
 
Yes! Or the Lefties Soul Connection cover, which I think surpasses the original!

Gee I don't know, Wally... I say 3 and that's being generous. Maybe I'm just being grumpy from hunger.

Not that bad for a first time into my ears. Gave it a 7... as a welcome gift.

Reminds me a little of Belle and Sebastian.

Gets better with more plays. Quirky, but I like it.

Not liking this one.  Can't give it more than a 3.

A friend of mine and myself contributed a remix to his Doctors Without Borders album.

Don't hear a Bossa Nova beat too often anymore.
