[VERSE 1]
Skinny knee Cbone
Through it all and end up all aFlone (??)
GCarve it away until you find
The Fmarble girl who’s left behind inCside
This block of Gstone
[VERSE 2]
Skinny knee Cbone
Too far too near the sun your engines dFrawn
GJet planes trail across the skies
Your skin and Fbone across my eyes
To fCar too light to land where you were Gthrown
[CHORUS 1]
FThe knee bone’s connected to the jaw bone
With a Cwire, and a cAmable
We’re gonna Grun the table (??)
Bet it all on Fblack
Bet it all on Cblack
[BRIDGE]
A Amship in a Dmbottle
Double Ambet without Dmbreaking (??)
A Amship in a Dmbottle
Your Cheart is in the Gmaking (??)
[VERSE 3]
Skinny knee Cbone
So still inside the silk where you were Fsewn
GAll things come to those whose weight is Fnot the sum of all they ate
The Cfinger on the scale was not your Gown
[CHORUS 2]
FThe knee bone’s connected to the jaw bone
With a Cwire, and a Amcable
Bet it all on Gblack (Bet it all on black)
Bet it all on Fblack (Bet it all on black)
Bet it all on Cblack (Bet it all on black)
Bet it all on blGack (together)
[CHORUS 3]
FThe knee bone’s connected to the jaw bone
With a Cwire, and a Amcable
Run the jaw bone’s Gslack (Run the jaw bone’s slack)
Run the jaw bone’s Fslack (Run the jaw bone’s slack)
Run the jaw bone’s Cslack (Run the jaw bone’s slack)
Run the jaw bone’s Gslack (together)
