Electric Six
Steal Your Bones
[Verse 1]
We fear what we're becoming
But look what we've become
Truth can be somewhat numbing
When we see that we've been so dumb
To ensure your survival
I need you dead upon arrival
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I will love you forever
Though you surely won't remember
Everything I did to make you love me
[Chorus 1]
You are a friend of mine
And when you die I'm gonna steal your bones
You are a space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clones
Oh, look how your love light shines as you outnumber me
[Verse 2]
They said we should never go here
That it should never be done
But smile your thousand faces
For all the fear they are merely one
Then we'll abandon wrong for right
And hear the heartbeats of the dead tonight
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I'll love you forever
And you never will remember
Everything I did to make you love me
[Chorus 2]
You are a friend of mine
When you die I'm gonna steal your bones
You are a space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clones
Oh, look how your love light shines as you owe everything to me
[Bridge 3]
And I declare, where there's a way, there's a will
And have you ever seen The Boys from Brazil?
Evolution rolls the dice
We can be so much more precise
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I'll love you forever
Though you surely won't remember
Everything I did to make you love me
[Chorus 3]
You are a friend of mine
And when you die I'm gonna steal your bones
You are a space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clones
Oh, look how your love light shines as you outnumber me
