After months teasing his fans on social media with snippets of this song, Tyler dropped it on October 30 live on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe.
[Verse 1]
I am just some bones, you sucked all the life up out of me
Hollow on the inside baby really I just want you to be proud of me
How come no one used to care? Now I am such a hot commodity
I ain't got no soul no more, I think I need a lobotomy
You know
You took my heart and my soul
I lose all control
Now I'm just nothing but bones
Why don't you leave me alone?
I feel so lucky, keep you to myself I'ma hide ya
It's getting hot in the hills so we put out the fire
I think we just hit the peak and we can't get no higher (Big top)
We goin fast and now we 'bout to crash you the driver
[Pre-Chorus]
You-you want, you wanna go for a ride?
I take her around the San Fernando Valley (Aye)
She say that she from New York
But spend all her time and money in Miami
She wanna go to Dubai
[Chorus]
Get all her friends and make a viral challenge (Aye)
You been this way all your life
It's all your fault you turned me to a savage
I'm hollow like a skeleton (Hey!)
Now I'm hollow like a skeleton (Go, yeah!)
Hollow like a skeleton (Yeah!)
Now I'm hollow like a skeleton
[Verse 2]
She said me and her ex-boyfriend we look just alike
She been watching for long time just like Nick at Nite
And I'm cooler than the guy you philosophized (Yo!)
And my baby got the skin look like mocha chai (Ooh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
You-you want, you wanna go for a ride?
I take her around the San Fernando Valley (Aye)
She say that she from New York
But spend all her time and money in Miami
She wanna go to Dubai
[Chorus]
Get all her friends and make a viral challenge (Aye)
You been this way all your life
It's all your fault you turned me to a savage
I'm hollow like a skeleton (Hey!)
Now I'm hollow like a skeleton (Go, yeah!)
Hollow like a skeleton (Yeah!)
Now I'm hollow like a skeleton
[Verse 3]
Nothing to say, now that we grown
I'm on the rise ain't got no soul
But I'm so fly just like a drone
We took the drive, yeah, yeah!
One of a kind written in stone
Out every noght, ain't no control
You moving fast, let's take it slow
I missed my flight, yeah
(You-You-You-You-You)
You took all the life up out of me
I ain't got no soul no more, girl you owe me an apology
Hunnid thousand skeletons wanna pretend just like it's Halloween
I don't know, I don't care no more, I think I got a lobotomy
[Outro]
You know
You took my heart and my soul
I lose all control
Now I'm just nothing but bones
Why don't you leave me alone?
You took my heart and my soul
I lose all control
Now I'm just nothing but bones
