See These Bones

Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Try as they might, no ones immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinkin' it's time to redo and redo
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 its too late at night
I mostly just think in the dark
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
You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed, it's just what you need
Look alive, 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
The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
Warm arms and cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
We'll 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 you went to her house, remember ringing the bell
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Just like we are, you'll be dust
Just like we are, permanent
