Al Basile - Closer to the Bone
текст песни

Ah but your face is so hollow and gray
I hate to see you looking this way
You nod your head just as if you heard
but you're not listening to a single word


Cause it's closer to the bone

Closer to the bone

Closer than I could ever be

Closer to you than you are to me

You're taking that poison they told you would help
It's killing you quicker than sickness itself
You say that you're fighting, but all I can see
is someone who's slipping away from me


Cause it's closer to the bone

Closer to the bone

Closer than pleasure, closer than pain

Closer than the blood running through your veins



Closer than your breath is to the air


closer than the future we thought we'd share


closer than the bed where we sleep at night


closer than your sex and your appetite

Your smile's too tight, it's only a mask
You'd just deny it if I bothered to ask
Still you can't fool me, I know that you're shaken
Your very soul has been overtaken


Cause it's closer to the bone

Closer to the bone


It's closer than a lover, closer than a friend

It's bringing you closer to your end
