Lake Bonneville Lyrics

Where I live was underwater

Years and years and years

The weight of that remembered sea

Holds me down, roars in my ears

And turns bone to fossil, throat to stone

Bone to fossil, throat to stone

And my belly's full of clay

I've been living on this floodplain

Years and years and years

And when the dam above me breaks

I'll be underwater here

Bone turned to fossil, throat to stone

Bone to fossil, throat to stone

Oh, my belly's full of clay

Can't stop dredging a lake that's dry

Can't stop drinking the dregs of Bonneville

Can't stop dredging a lake that's dry

Never getting anything except

Can't stop drinking the dregs of Bonneville

Give me anything except

Bones and fossils, a throat of stone

Anything, anything, anything except

Bones and fossils, bones and fossils

Bones and fossils, a throat of stone

Anything, anything, anything except

Bones and fossils, bones and fossils

Bones and fossils, a throat of stone

And a belly full of clay
