Carbon Ribs Lyrics by John Mark McMillan
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
A Thousand pairs of firey eyes
Burn like a serpent down the hwy 5
As the Long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got resurrection down in side my skin
But for all my revealating
I just cant make sense
Of this gravity we're in

Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side

A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led you to the threshold
Of my hearts screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes
Like a cold cold Rain
To lead me to the rope again
But someone is standing in my place

Cause I'm a dead man now
With a ghost who lives
Within the confines of
These carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side

And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
And I sit beside you
A Thousand pairs of firey eyes   Burn like a serpent down the hwy 5   As the Long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds   I've got resurrection down in side my skin   But for all my revealating   I just cant make sense   Of this gravity we're in      Cause I'm a dead man now   With a ghost who lives   Within the confines of   These carbon ribs   And one day when I'm free   I will sit   The cripple at your table   The cripple by your side      A thousand miles of pain I'm sure   Led you to the threshold   Of my hearts screen door   To tell me what it is I'm dying for   Gravity comes   Like a cold cold Rain   To lead me to the rope again   But someone is standing in my place      Cause I'm a dead man now   With a ghost who lives   Within the confines of   These carbon ribs   And one day when I'm free   I will sit   The cripple at your table   The cripple by your side   The cripple at your table   The cripple by your side      And I sit beside you   And I sit beside you   And I sit beside you   And I sit beside you
