  • 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 bright
    Now the storm is on its way
    Coming here to break the day
    Steaming rain
    Oh, you go shoot me down
    Take my halo, yoke and crown
    Yoke and crown

    'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
    You, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
    It's just bones

    Now 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 away

    I'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 bones

    Just bones,
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones

    So how can love bear to see you, bear to see you go alone?
    I can't bloom, this speeding heart's got the same bone as your own,
    As your own
    So 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 bones

    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
    Bones
