Chad VanGaalen’s “Bones of Man”

I’m still trying to figure this one out. Despite my confusion, though, it’s still one badass tune.

Flemish Eye is being mean and hasn’t made it available for purchase in the stateside version of the iTunes Store, but you can listen to it for free at CBC Radio 3.

It was a beautiful night, yeah the moon was climbing out of the mountains
And from the city in the ground came the sound of a million lights
We were headed to the center of our brain when they came a-knockin’
They said, ‘We’ve seen you before, and we really like all of the stories’

This world of wonder will eat the bones of man
We never wanted to leave you
This world of wonder will eat the bones of man
We never wanted to leave

When it touched my hand, I felt my mind open up like a valley
And from a crack in the ground came the sound of a million legs
There was a silent flash before the earth started closing up on itself
I felt at peace and alive even though the ship was going down

This world of wonder will eat the bones of man
We never wanted to leave you
This world of wonder will eat the bones of man
We never wanted to leave you
