FOh, I see you in your cobra Gnest
All dressed up in your sunday Ambest
FIn the opal morning Glight
See your gun there, shining Ambright
Shining bright

FNow the storm is on it's Gway
Coming here to break the Amday

FOh, you go shoot me Gdown
Take my halo, yolk and Amcrown

'Cause FI've been to the Gdarkest place I Amknow
So Fyou, my dear, shouldn't Gfear what lies beAmlow
It's just bones

Picking out better bones than your Amown
