Story Behind The Song

I was at odds with how I was bringing the flesh and bone home...so I decided to get to work and make it a Copa discussion topic. That's how I work through things.

Song Description

Flesh and Bone is a bit of a double entant...for sex and how to satisfy the hunger for it. We're all made of flesh and bone--a great equalizer--and we all desire to bring satisfaction to the thing were made of. With that comes a choice on how to bring that satisfaction home: with a wife, with a prostitute, with pornography, with a telephone call, over the t.v., etc. Not all of these produce the same results...and this is the discussion within the song.

Lyrics

i came to ease my mind
when im touching flesh and bone
but its no child's play
when you're touching flesh to bone
you know the world you can leave behind
when you start to build your home
if you can find a love
who will host your flesh and bone

lets dig deeper than the skin
to see the trap we're caught within
of knowing right and doing wrong
when you're touching flesh and bone
you max the plastic to bring it home
forget where you come from
just to feel
some
flesh and bone

flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?
flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?

flesh and bone
in the club
on the street
within the church
over the phone
how you gonna bring it home?

lets dig deeper than the skin
to see the trap we're caught within
of knowing right and doing wrong
when you're touching flesh and bone
you max the plastic to bring it home
forget where you come from
just to feel
some
flesh and bone

flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?
flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?

you're too pretty to be the real thing
the veins don't come out from your neck when you sing
the man who has everything
could lose it all
between your flesh and bone

how you gonna bring it home?
flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?
flesh and bone
how you gonna bring it home?
