[Verse 1]
Oh, another day, another sunset
The walls watch my thighs intertwine
For the second-teenth time
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
Add another glass to the stale row
The authors look down as I shrug
With their capital smug
Oh, lo-lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Chorus]
In the grand scheme (Tell her it don't really matter)
I've got a plan, see (Better it won't really end)
Oh, lonely bones, wait for me
[Verse 2]
Over the bridge to midnight
Friends sleep oblivious and thick
Something's making me sick
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
Add another night to the stale row
Seem to be dangerously close
Might abandon the host
Oh, lo-lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Chorus]
Oh, in the grand scheme (Tell her it don't really matter)
I've got a plan, see (Better it won't really end)
Oh, lonely bones, wait for me
[Bridge]
Alright, everybody!
La, la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Lonely bones, have you forgotten?
La, la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Outro]
Oh, in the grand scheme
I've got a plan, see
Oh, lonely bones
