Skin and Bones
Foo Fighters · Greatest Hits [2009]
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
