[Verse 1]
Beat my bones against the wall
Staring down an empty hall
Deep down in a hollow log
Coming home like a letter bomb

[Chorus 1]
Cold was the storm
That covered the night

[Verse 2]
Call a doctor, call a ghost
Put a fire into your bones
Sic a dog on all you know
Cut it loose before you go

[Chorus 1]
Cold was the storm
That covered the night

[Chorus 2]
What makes the soul, the soul of a man?

[Verse 3]
Beat my bones against the wall
Put a fire and throw in your bond
Gris Gris and a goldenrod
Down deep in a hollow log
[Chorus 1]
Cold was the storm
That burned the night

[Chorus 2]
What makes the soul, the soul of a man?
