Oh, I see you in your cobra nest
All dressed up in your Sunday best
In the opal morning light
See your gun there shining bright
Shining brightNow the storm is on its way
Coming here to break the day
Steaming rain
Oh, you go shoot me down
Take my halo, yolk and crown
Yolk and crown'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
You, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bonesNow you go softly soft
Picking out better bones than your own
Oh, I see you creep in the dark
Sticking pins into the rain
To wash awayI've been to the only place I know
It's just bones
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bonesJust bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones, bonesSo how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone?
I can't bloom this speeding heart's got the same bone
As your own, as your ownSo you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
And I've been to the darkest place you know
It's just bonesBones, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones, bones
