House of Broken Bones Lyrics

Let me introduce myself you might have heard of me

The biggest bastard you'll ever meet

The ego has landed, the golden god cometh

The man, the myth, the legend, the dream

You've been letting your mouth run a little too much

You've delivered your own eulogy

Now you can think of death as the lesser of two evils

'Cause the only other option is me

When you get to the other side and they ask you how you came

Tell them I sent you, they'll know the name

Welcome home, come on in, to the house of broken bones

You've got a permanent reservation for the worst pain you've ever known

With your glass-jaw grin and paper thin skin, squeezing the blood from the stone

If you swing for the king and miss you'll wake up in the house of broken bones

You say if you were me you'd think about running

You know how to make a man like me weep

But if you were me, you'd be much better looking

Son there are no other men like me

I've been called a sinner, a devil, a disaster

But everyone's been led astray

I'm more saintly than any man you care to name

When people see me coming they pray

When you get to the other side and they ask you how you came

Tell them I sent you, they'll know the name

Welcome home, come on in, to the house of broken bones

You've got a permanent reservation for the worst pain you've ever known

With your glass-jaw grin and paper thin skin, squeezing the blood from the stone

If you swing for the king and miss you'll wake up in the house of broken bones

There'll be tears before bedtime, better dry your eyes

'Cause I am what goes bump in the night

You can leave here easy or leave horizontal

Your next of kin can kiss your arse goodbye

Welcome home, come on in, to the house of broken bones

You've got a permanent reservation for the worst pain you've ever known

With your glass-jaw grin and paper thin skin, squeezing the blood from the stone

If you swing for the king and miss you'll wake up in the house of broken bones
