Lyrics for Bones as interpreted by foldsbaldwin

Bones Lyrics
(Come with me)

We took a back road, we’re gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand
And in the ocean, we’ll hold hands
But I don’t really like you
Apologetically dressed and in the best put on a heartbeat line
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

The cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
There’s someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same
(wait till tomorrow you'll be fine)
but its gone to the dogs in my mind
i always hear them when the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
but they can never wrong this right

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

I never had a lover
I never had soul
And I never had a good time
I never got bold

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
its only natural

Come and take a swim with me
Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
its only natural

Love the Song.

I think this song is just that he wants to get laid, hence he doesn't really like her.

I do believe the lyrics say "I never got gold" instead of boned...sorry guys!

The song is simply sexy and there is nothing else to it! Like killing_spree said, he really doesn't like the girl (But I don’t really like you) and he just is with her to get some action.
He knows it's morally/religiously wrong to manipulate her like that. (There’s someone calling, an angel whispers my name).
But yet, he taunts her and does anything to lure her into having sex with him. (Don’t you wanna come with me?/Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?/It’s only natural.)

Typical male ;) I can't wait to hear the album version!

Actually someone just confirmed that it's "never got bold" which makes a lot of sense.

The lyrics posted here might be wrong.

"Apologetic and dressed in the best ---
Without an answer, the finest piece from the sky" is more like

"apologetically dressed in the best
put on a heartbeat (??)
without an answer
the thunder speaks from the sky"


"They say not physically" is more likely something like ""This enigmatic vision exudes"

"But the message remains the same" is actually "The message RELAYED is the same."

The "---?" parts are actually something along the lines as follows:

"(wait until tomorrow you'll be fine)
but its gone to the dogs in my mind/
i always hear them when the dead of night/
comes calling to save me from this fight/
but they can never wrong this right"

Can the lyrics here be fixed? Thanks.

I'm going through the entire album for the first time right now, and this song is definitely one of my favorites already.

I'll agree with everyone else here, he just wants to get some. It's a very sexy song, the lyrics remind me of On Top from Hot Fuss, but he sounds quite a bit more desperate in this one.

i'm listening to it now on the live leak at mtv.com and i think its awesome, but most likely from the anxious spirit i am in, in anticipation for the album to come out. Goodness i can't wait!

More accurate lyrics for the song, .... are for a missing word which i cant hear. Good song, not my favourite but its still good.

(Come with me)

We took a back road, we’re gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand
And in the ocean, we’ll hold hands
But I don’t really like you
Apologetically dressed and the best foot on a heartbeat.....
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

The cinematic vision interlude (?)
Like the holiest dream
There’s someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same
(wait till tomorrow you'll be fine)
but its gone to the dogs in my mind
i always hear them in the dead of night
....calling to save me from this.....
but they can never wrong this ride

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

I never had a lover
I never had soul
And I never had a good time
I never got bold

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
its only natural

Come and take a swim with me
Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
its only natural

Sexy, sexy, horny song. The opening is trying to add some sort of depth, darkness, that it need to be complete. I wonder if it was written to suit the video concept... maybe once I see the video I'll have a different opinion. Tim Burton better not disappoint. I love it though. :)

Wait a minute, the sexual interpretation, with "bones" referring to "boning"... wouldn't bones-on-bones and "com[ing] with me" imply more gayness.

God Brandon, you and your imaginary wife aren't fooling anyone :P.

Is it me or did the killers kill what might have been a decent song with the way too repetitive chorus and those really cheesy synth horns. Aww man. They totally ruined the song.

By repeating the chorus so much. It made those lyrics cheesy and unitentionally hilarious. Accompany that with the cheesy synth horns. Aww man, what were they thinking.

I actually liked it with the synth horns. This song and "When You Were Young" are really the only songs on Sam's Town that I like so far. I've got to listen to the album more... but nothing else has really stood out to me.

When I hear the Killers, one of the things I think is synth. This song has those synths, and I think Bones wouldn't be Bones without them.

This is in my top 3 songs in Sam's Town...it makes me want to dance and do some stuff ;)

Maybe it's just me but I hate "Bones." I see plenty of you disagree. I feel "Bling," and "This River is Wild," are better songs and would have made better candidates for the second single. I can't get over the chorus with the synth horns in "Bones." Something about it just irritates me.

Just to clarify cause some of you might take it that way. I have nothing against synthesizers. I like a lot of bands that heavily featured synths. I am an 80's fan all the way. It would be pretty retarded to like the Killers and have something against synths. But synths can really kill a song depending on how they are used. Just my opinion.

There's something cheesy and very "Rocky Horror Picture Show," about this song. I guess I'm the only one picking up on this. lol.

Damn. I cannot stop listening to this song. The rest of the album sits and waits while "Bones" keeps getting repeated!

Someone make me stop already.

Either this has to do with murder, which is understandable, or it's about a user. He lures women in and probably says "I Love You" early to get them in the sack. But somehow, since Brandon is so HOT, I wouldn't mind that.

This is a sexy song in all its entirity. :) But at the same time it doesn't sound like the intentions are necessarily slutty. It sounds like he wants someone to be with to feel whole for a night.

It is really good and makes me feel happy! The horns make me want to dance.

Bones definitely has the connotation of "boning," but in the context of the song (and the fact that it's plural), I think it suggests something deeper than just sex. The bones are representing their bodies as a whole, but just saying bones makes it sound darker, like an empty, dead relationship.
