BREAK OUT THE BONES - words & music by Nate Butler
Sure, I gave up it all
Still, I can't believe that I bought a voodoo doll
But grant this wish, and I will believe
I believe
Break out the bones, You want a girl, you got her
Break out the bones, To keep you up at night
Break out the bones, So young when she died
Just send me one that's alive, then it would be alright
Young and pure she was
A footfall at the door, see what the magic does?
But I don't know when it will begin again
I believe
Break out the bones, You want a girl, you got her
Break out the bones, To keep you up at night
Break out the bones, So young when she died
Just send me one that's alive, then it would be alright
Hang my head in shame
A voice in the dark says, "I can hear you complain.
But if you weren't sure, what did you ask me for?!"
I believe
Break out the bones, You want a girl, you got her
Break out the bones, To keep you up at night
Break out the bones, So young when she died
Just send me one that's alive, then it would be alright
('Cause I don't wanna know how they die)
Just send me one that's alive, then it would be alright
That would make me feel alright
