There are secrets in the soul of me
Things I keep inside
Places you will never see
Hidden under lock and key
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
You`re looking from the outside in
All you`ll see is what you`re shown
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
It`s par for the course it`s a matter of fact
People are all the same
They want to make my business theirs
Slandering my good name
All around my neighbourhood
People trying to say that I ain`t no good
Pointing their finger at me and mine
Look at what`s hanging on my clothesline
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
What`s mine in mine and mine alone
Stand at the window on your tippy toes
Blinds are down – skin and bone
Ashes come to ashes
Dust becomes to dust
My secret soul will never die
As my body surely must
When I`m buried under the ground
I`ll still be here in kind
Invisible and sinister
The things I leave behind
Flesh and bone and skin and blood
Bury my deep beneath the mud
When I die only thing that`s gone
Is flesh and blood, skin and bone
