lyrics

Dregs of whiskey from the night before,
And three grams of speed are all that's keeping him off the floor.
But like Dylan said, he'll just keep on keeping on.
He wasn't gonna stop 'till his body was good as gone.

[Chorus]
Porcelain bones are making him slow,
Losing his mind on that couch gettin' stoned.
Whatever happened to the man from years ago?
Was he left behind when he got those porcelain bones...

Watching darts fly down those golden lines,
Pushing through leaves constructed in his mind.
Those 12 hour journeys he didn't want to end,
But he ran out of money to borrow from any more friends.

[Chorus]
Porcelain bones are making him slow,
Losing his mind on that couch gettin' stoned.
Whatever happened to the man from years ago?
Was he left behind when he got those porcelain bones...

Just a shadow of the man he used to be,
But a shadow can still dance and dancing something free.
Though he was destroyed, he was not defeated,
With Hemmingway's hand he wrote his stories of mistreatment.
He settled down, had a daughter and a son.
Looks like he's the man I am bound to become.

[Chorus]
Porcelain bones will make me slow,
I'll lose my mind on that couch getting stoned.
Am I the man he was those years ago?
Will I be left behind when I get my porcelain bones...
