lyrics

The C.D. player's broke
So I went out for a smoke
I didn't have a light
And they didn't get the joke
I started out asleep
Aut then I finally woke

Think about the words I say
Don't think I haven't spoke
The fire is alive for Bill Jones
And the night is still young
For mister bones

Oh hey I guess you'll say
Well that's just how it goes
Napoleon Bonaparte
His room upstairs is closed
He's taking off his glasses
And he's staring down his nose

His life was once all poetry
But now it's turned to prose
I'm ready for a drink but
My bartender just froze
My motives were once hidden
But now everybody knows

Oh hey I guess you'll say...

You think you made it out of there
Until your garden glows
Washing all your dreams away
The river always flows
And a Curated Swordfish
Hits me on the nose

"Oh hey" I guess you'll say
"Well that's the way it goes"
And the night's forever young
For mister bones

And the fire is a dream
For the one who never knows
Yes the night is ever young for mister raggedy bones
And the fire is still alive for a man named Bill Jones

"Oh hey" I guess you'll say
"Well that's the way it goes"
And the night's forever young
For mister bones
