John Grant – Chicken Bones lyrics

When I got out of my bed this morning
I noticed that it didn't have a right side
And my head feels like it's filled to the top
With Pop Rocks and cyanide

There's an earthquake coming, and you think you know
Where it started, but it started very long ago
I need a mongoose, baby, and some Calgon to take me up outta here

Some days, it's just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now. You'd better leave me alone
Cause I'm about to explode, just like a Wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know because I can't be wrong
Some days it's just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now, you'd better leave me alone
Cause I'm about to explode just like a Wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know, because I can't be wrong

Yes I know why you need it--cause your car broke down
And you wanna take the next bus outta this town
But if anybody's gettin' on the bus, dawg, it's gonna be me

I know I don't need what you've got for me
But maybe I do theoretically
You'd better watch out sugar cause I'm about to get my Old Spice on

Some days, it's just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now. You'd better leave me alone
Cause I'm about to explode, just like a Wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know because I can't be wrong
Some days it's just chicken bones
I'm all jacked up on DC at my place alone
And I don't care what you think about my attitude
Because I can't be bothered with the likes of you

Some days, it's just chicken bones
You'd better fuck off now. You'd better leave me alone
Cause I'm about to explode, just like a Wonderbread bomb
And I don't care what I know because I can't be wrong
Some days it's just chicken bones
I'm all jacked up on DC at my place alone
And I don't care what you think about my attitude
Because I can't be bothered with the likes of you
