Forgive the violence of lonely years living With crushed bones through restless nights My wounded knees shattered houses in the wind Oh this place looks like a graveyard It's been a long time, don't mean anything I can't forgive now, look at the shape I'm in Talk to me now don't close your eyes on me You saw me smiling once, wasn't meaningless Dead ponies on my mind, stolen, murdered dreams Buried beneath my feet It's been a long time, don't mean anything I can't talk right now, look at the shape I'm in Look at us now We've been put out of sight Locked and trapped and and I can't stand the pain in my mother's eyes And don't send none of your money It can't fix broken treaties Look at the shape we're in I don't feel too good right now, look at the shape I'm in I try to think about something new Not much to find round here but alcohol The future's pointing from behind Pin me up against the sky oh when I die It's been a long time, don't mean anything I can't think too much right now, look at the shape I'm in Forgive the violence of lonely years living With crushed bones through restless nights My wounded knees shattered houses in the wind Oh this place looks like a graveyard It's been a long time, don't mean anything I can't forgive now, look at the shape I'm in Look at us now We've been put out of sight Locked and trapped and and I can't stand the pain in my mother's eyes And don't send none of your money It can't fix broken treaties Look at the shape we're in The shape we're in
