Oh, I see you in your cobra nest

All dressed up in your sunday best

In the opal morning light
Am
See your gun there, shining bright
Shining bright

Now the storm is on it's way

Coming here to break the day
Steaming rain

Oh, you go shoot me down
Am
Take my halo, yolk and crown
Yolk and crown
[Chorus]

So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones

Picking out better bones than your own

Oh, I see you creep in the dark
Am
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

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
