Lyrics[]
Coasting through the graveyards, hanging with the lonely bones
Doesn't mean you left us, you just grew out of your homes
Just because they've got your earthly name engraved in gold
Don't try to tell me
That this alters the worth of your soul
You can't take the gold with you anyway
Healthy insides, mastermind
Perfect body, you gotta leave it behind
Black couture dresses and your tailor-made suit
And the collagen they put in your lips
You can't take it with you
Lonely bones, waiting for you
I've got lonely bones, telling the truth
We got lonely bones, waiting for you, oh-oh-oh
Lonely bones, waiting for you
Coasting through the graveyards, hanging with the lonely bones
Doesn't mean they left us, you just grew out of your homes
Just because they've got your earthly name engraved in gold
Don't try to tell me
That this alters the worth of your so-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oul
You can't take the gold with you anyway
We got shiny insides, we got a mastermind
Perfect body, you gotta leave it behind
Black couture dresses and your tailor-made suit
And the collagen they put in your lips
You can't take it with you
You got lonely bones waiting for you
I've got lonely bones, telling the truth
There are lonely bones lying for you
I got lonely bones, waiting for you
