Verse I

Slow down, sit tight

We’ve already won this fight

By playing close to the bone

Don’t run, stay and fight

Cause it’s gonna be a long long night

Of playin’ close to the bone

 

Chorus

We can’t seem to find the answers

There doesn’t seem to be a key

We’ve been runnin’ around this tired old town

So strange to you and me

We can’t see seem to find the answers

There doesn’t seem to be  key

We’ve been runnin’ around this tired old town

So strange to you and me

 

Verse II

Sacred truth eternal bliss

Life liberty and happiness

A life living close to the bone

Discriminate and you live in hate

Poisonous soul is does create

So hollow, hollow in the bone

 

Chorus

 

Verse III

The golden rule keeps hope alive

Respect and love still apply

When playing close to the bone

So when they go low

We go high, ain’t no other way to fly

When playing close to the bone

 

Chorus
