Skin and Bones

Foo Fighters · Greatest Hits [2009]

Lately I've been measuring

Seems my time is growing thin

Wind me up and watch me spin

Watch me spin

Watch me spin



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



I'm just skin and bones



All worn out and nothing fits

Brennivin and cigarettes

The more I give the less I get

But I'm all set

I'm all set



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



I'm just skin and bones X5



Deep within this frame of mind

Heart of hearts oh valentine

Tell my mom I'm doing fine

Doing fine

Doing fine



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



Skin and bones

Skin and bones

Skin and bones don't you know?



I'm just skin and bones X5
