Foals - What Remains lyrics

rate me

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, yolk and crown

yolk and crown

'cause I've been to the darkest place I know

so 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 x 15

So 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 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 x 8
