There's a riot in the streets The earth is opening up under me I'm an empire in decline now honey There's murder being done On what used to be our love They're smashing windows and taking it for themselves I will meet you there Where the light despairs And the shadow falls over me honey Yeah There aint nothing left but dust and bones So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore Yeah There aint nothing left of the man you used to know So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore The smoke is hanging low Through my window And the ash settles down at my feet I'm counting up the costs All the good people that were lost I'm pulling limp bodies up from the mud At least you had the presence of mind To get out of this empire in decline Before it all went to hell now honey Yeah There aint nothing left but dust and bones So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore Yeah There aint nothing left of the man you used to know So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore ♪ Yeah There aint nothing left but dust and bones So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore Yeah There aint nothing left of the man you used to know So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore Yeah I am nothing but dust and bones So don't you come around knocking on my coffin anymore Yeah There aint nothing left of the man you used to know So don't you be around crying by my tombstone anymore Yeah Yeah
