lyrics

There are seven places to hide your bones upstairs
Should I ever luck out and catch you unawares
I haven’t worked out the specifics, the logistics of the act
I’ve simply stiffened my resolve while putting a few jars back
My alibi is still just a punchline to my love
But I’m betting water can be thicker when push comes to shove

There are seven places; at first I only counted six
The laundry chute, the wall behind the crucifix
Beneath the planks of each of the three bedroom floors
There’s a pocket in the chimney that could hold ribs galore
I searched, and despite the whiskey, was still stuck at six
Until I noticed the cracks in the mantle bricks

There are seven places to hide your bones upstairs
Although I doubt anyone would notice or even really care
I’ve seen the best of men swallowed by the ground
I’ve known better women; they’re not with me now
So it makes no sense that we’re sharing the same air
When there are exactly seven places to hide your bones upstairs
