Compound Fracture Songtext

von My Morning Jacket

Compound fracture, gonna ring the gong
And sound the warnin' of what's to come
If we ain't careful as to where we step
Paradise callin' or untimely death
Compound fracture, gotta set the bone
Wrap it up; let it heal on its own
Don't walk on it; give it time to rest (time to rest)
There's no evil; there's no good (ooh hoo)
Only people doin' as they should (ooh hoo)
There is life in love and sound (ooh hoo)
Get as much as you can keep around (ooh hoo)
'Fore they put you into the ground (ah)
For who knows how long (paradise calling)
How long (paradise calling)
I know you're young; that's the time to learn
If we're too soft on you, you will get burned
Fill your skull with what you want
There's no evil; there's no good (ooh hoo)
Only people doin' as they should (ooh hoo)
Or as they should in the light of day (ooh hoo)
God and the Devil were made up anyway (ooh hoo)
But their meanings so real and so plain (ooh hoo)
There is life in love and sound (ooh hoo)
Get as much as you can keep around (ooh hoo)
'Fore they put you into the ground (ah)
For who knows how long (paradise calling)
How long (paradise calling)
For who knows how long (paradise calling)
How long (paradise calling)
'Til the next go 'round, 'round
'Til the next go 'round (AH)
Hey, hoo ooh, ha bay, hoo ah
Compound fracture, ring the gong (ah ah ah ah ah)
Best sound the warnin' of what's to come (ah ah ah ah AH)
If we ain't careful as to where we step
Paradise callin' or untimely death
