מילים לשיר Red Right Ankle – Decemberists

This is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle, bone, and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered "Oh adhere to me And whatever differences our lives have been
For we are bound by symmetry
This is the story of your red right ankle. We together make a limb."
You never knew 'cause he was dead
This is the story of your gypsy uncle
And how his face was carved and rift with wrinkles
In the picture in your head. To his hideout in the Pyrenees
But you wanted to keep his secret safe
And remember how you found the key
This is the story of your gypsy uncle.
So you threw the key away. Some were sweet, some were cold and snuffed you
This is the story of the boys who loved you
Who love you now and loved you then
Some just laid around in bed.
Did it cruel, did it tenderly Some had crumbled you straight to your knees
To rend your ventricles apart
Some had crawled their way into your heart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
This is the story of your red right ankle.
