Paper and Bone
I need a brother to teach me to swim
One with a sister with paper for skin
When we hit the water, i'll try not to shake
When i see paper fall from her face
I'll catch it on camera, when my brother cries
The light from the flashbulb will burn out our eyes
The gospel of adam will take us on home
Just me and my sister, paper and bone
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
At the top of the stairway she told me the news
Rome is on fire, so you gotta choose
You can kiss me on new year's and float into space
Or dance in the fire and further the race
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
Millions of people will gather around
To watch me and my sister burn to the ground
Sinners from tulsa will all stand and laugh
At me and my sister covered in ash
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces now, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, we'll keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
Cry if we must
Yeah we'll laugh if we have to
Cry if we must
One with a sister with paper for skin
When we hit the water, i'll try not to shake
When i see paper fall from her face
I'll catch it on camera, when my brother cries
The light from the flashbulb will burn out our eyes
The gospel of adam will take us on home
Just me and my sister, paper and bone
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
At the top of the stairway she told me the news
Rome is on fire, so you gotta choose
You can kiss me on new year's and float into space
Or dance in the fire and further the race
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
Millions of people will gather around
To watch me and my sister burn to the ground
Sinners from tulsa will all stand and laugh
At me and my sister covered in ash
The eternal city is covered in rust
It's falling to pieces now, it's turning to dust
We'll keep our heads down, we'll keep our mouths shut
We'll laugh if we have to, cry if we must
Cry if we must
Yeah we'll laugh if we have to
Cry if we must
