Holy Bones Lyrics by BAMBARA

Birthmarks

2025

[Verse 1]
\nAn old man bent in half walks towards the train tracks
\nWith his head at his ankles, I watch his hair drag
\nOn the cracked concrete, catching trash at his feet
\nHeart candy and pink rose petals
\nI should have known by the cold, it was Valentine’s Day
\n"This month's for groundhogs and dying", my father would say
\nThe man shuffles by, hear him groan, hear him sigh
\nAs the train rattles up and waits
\nRibbons trail from his shoes
\nLike the ones you’d use to tie your hair in a halo braid
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBaby, deep in the heart of Rome
\nThere's a sanctified crown of flowers
\nThat would be better blessed as your headdress
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI'd brand your namе on my face if you asked me to
\nI'd kill thе winter with my shadow so your dogwoods can bloom
\nThough it seems like I forgot, there's this plan that I got
\nTo steal a present luminescent as you
\nAin't no sacred price too great, no law that I won't break
\nTo see you shine like a stained glass saint
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBaby, deep in the heart of Rome
\nThere's a sanctified crown of flowers
\nThat rests on holy bones encased in gold
\nBut it would be better blessed as your headdress
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nI'll walk the coast 'til I crawl, bathe in pool hall stalls
\nSteal for my meals, feed the hounds at my heels
\nFloat, unknown, into Rome in a cargo hold
\nAnd snatch the crown, on a moonless night
\nRight off the skull of Saint Valentine
\nThen I'll smash his fucking head in
\n
\n[Outro]
\nBaby, I'd risk eternal fire
\nTo see your pretty head crowned in flowers
\nDon't you cry for Saint Valentine
\nHe won't mind, no, he won't mind
\nHe’s been dead for so long, but we still got time
\nElena please, come on, baby, say you're still mine\n\n
