Eye Pennies Lyrics - It's A Wonderful Life - Sparklehorse

I will return here one day 

And dig up my bones from the clay 

I buried nails and strings and hair 

And that old tooth I believe was a bear's 

I held my hand in the fire 

It burned me down to the wires 

Blood suckers hide beneath my bed 

And black fumes of skin so gently bled 

I slept with a cat on my breast 

Slowing my heart, stealing my breath 

At sunrise the monkeys will fly 

And leave me with pennies in my eyes 

I will return here one day 

And dig up my bones from the clay 

I buried nails and string and hair 

And that old tooth I believe was a bear's 

At sunrise the monkeys will fly 

And leave me with pennies in my eyes
