Tell the band to go back home
Take the west side back,
And throw the boys the bones
We will always be alone
Under the moonlit sky,
Our names are carved in stone

(chorus)
We will be, we will be black bones

Pray the ship will come to shore
Pray for the lighthouse keeper,
Knocking on my door
I'm not coming back here anymore
All of the seashell songs are burned into my core

(repeat chorus)

Strong and true
We will steal you daughters
Run through them like water
Black devil on your porch
We will be the last moon surrender

I'm the geat pretender
I've been filling in your holes

We will be black bones

Tell the band to go back home
Take the west side back,
And throw the boys the bones
We will always be alone
Under the moonlit sky,
Our names are carved in stone

(repeat chorus)
