See These Bones

Lyrics

[Intro] Everyone's right and no one is sorry That's the start and the end of the story From the Sharks and the Jets to the call in the morning [Verse 1] Everyone's right and no one is sorry That's the start and the end of the story From the Sharks and the Jets to the call in the morning And life is just bets anyway [Chorus] Look alive, see these bones What you are now, we were once [Verse 2] Try as they might, no one's immune to Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues And thinking this time to re-do and re-do I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights I hear strings in the park I don't like to call or write, except when it's too late at night I mostly just think in the dark [Chorus] Look alive, see these bones What you are now, we were once But just like we are, you'll be dust And just like we are, permanent [Bridge] You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep Just imagine the speed It's just what you need [Chorus] Look alive and see these bones What you are now, we were once And just like we are, you'll be dust And just like we are, permanent [Bridge 2] The lights in the city are more or less blinking Which side of the story decides what you are thinking Warm arms and cold faces We're squinting, we're hurrying We take inventory We're digging, we're burying Do you remember when the light was low? Do you remember when it fell? Do you remember when we went through her house? Remember ringing the bell? [Chorus] Look alive, see these bones What you are now, we were once Just like we are, you'll be dust And just like we are, permanent [Outro] The lights in the city are more or less blinking (Look alive) Which side of the story decides what you are thinking (See these bones) Warm arms and cold faces (What you are now) We're squinting, we're hurrying (We were once) We take inventory We're digging, we're burying (Just like we are) Do you remember when the light was low? (You'll be dust) Do you remember when it fell? (Just like we are) Do you remember when we went through her house? (Permanent) Remember ringing the bell? [Cascading voices from the Chorus and second bridge]
