Suzannah - Skeletons Lyrics

Came to with a noose around my neck
Heard the distant shots and the dust was dancing in the sunlight shaft
He said he's coming back
I don't wanna die
But I'll be damned if I leave without my money

I told myself I wouldn't play this game
Oh and here I am rolling the dice
I left my heart out on the field and I haven't needed it since
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't betting on one last chance

And I feel that old aching way down low
Got me thinking "Damn, everybody knows"
But there's nowhere to run
These troubles are my own
If I could learn to stay the game 'til the sunrise finds me again
Fortunes turn
Time rides away

So I came out on the other side
Not knowing what I'd find
You can spend your lifetime searching for beauty
Just to be forgotten
Or, worse, never known

So I tried to take it down to the bone
But no one wants their skeletons exposed
It broke my heart to leave but you know I had to go
I guess I should have known better
Than to try to get the cheddar

And I feel that old aching way down low
Got me thinking "Damn, everybody knows"
But there's nowhere to turn
These troubles are my own
If I could learn to stay the game 'til the sunrise finds me again
Fortunes turn
Time rides away

And I feel that old aching way down low
Got me thinking "Damn, everybody knows"
But there's nowhere to run
These troubles are my own
If I could learn to stay the game 'til the sunrise finds me again
Fortunes turn
Time rides away
Fortunes turn
Time rides away
