(Acoustic open chords) G E (x2)
We lit by a torch as we kneel in the court of the king
As we sift through the bones of an idol, we dig for the bones of an idol
When the will is gone......... Cuz something keeps turning us on...
(full band/electric)
You hold up the cup you've been searching for since you were young
When you still had the bones of an idol, if you still had the bones of idol
You'd be long, long gone... But something keeps turning you on...
Instrumental/Chorus 1: ( ) x2 then x2
We cling to the raft, we are missing by half what we wanted
But we escaped with the bones of an idol,
Escaped with the belt and the title but our land is gone
And something keeps turning us on...
Instrumental/Chorus 2: (over a lot of harmonizing 'oooos' and 'ahhhhs')
( ) x3 end on .
-Cheers, and buy Twin Cinema!!! (John Baer)
