Ancient Brittle Bones Lyrics by The Pica Beats

All The Wives Are Demon Spies

2013

[Verse 1]
All rise
This is old appetite
He's wakin' up and he's hunkered down
He's wishin' on his life he would run
Inside
His prize gull
Wingspan of copper node
He's ordered up a writ of proof
And provin' that he's hung like a fox
Oh faux
[Verse 2]
And the poor show
Makes it easy to go
Without offending pressure moss
And hold affection out like a scar
Too far
And the proud said
Of such an elegant ship
Swimming like the lone shark
Out beyond the barrier reef
Your leave
Your leave
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh but is it safe
To go beyond the walls
Where the chords are made?
And every time it's raining, they say
No, oh, oh
And every time it's snowing, they say
No, oh, oh
And every time it hails they say
[Chorus]
We're not whole (Oh, na na na)
It's our ancient brittle bones (Oh, na na na)
They betray us every time (Oh, na na na)
They reflect it off the back of our teeth (Oh)
Darling, name your fee (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Your fee (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Pray for
The one who lusted more
She's out countin' sixty-three
But skippin' nineteen-seventy-four
And more
And the whirlwind spit
Down near the [?] pit
He's gaining on the paddle-boat
But it's headin' off the last waterfall
Out of control
Out of control
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh but is it safe
To go beyond the walls
Where the chords are made?
And every time it's raining, they say
No, oh, oh
And every time it's snowing, they say
No, oh, oh
And every time it hails they say
[Chorus]
We're not whole (Oh, na na na)
It's our ancient brittle bones (Oh, na na na)
They betray us every time (Oh, na na na)
They reflect it off the back of our teeth (Oh)
And I will see the fields (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
As though [?] need (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
To grow they need (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
To burn, stand still (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
To learn how the krill in the lake [?] (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Riding opposite days (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Get to where the ocean is (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
It's softer than the powerline, oh (Oh)
And I remain your fool (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Your fool (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Your fool (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Your fool (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
