I've been on the penny arcade with my wife
She's a real good mover
She dances for me every night
And I've been on the waltzers with my only friend
I don't think she knows
What my young mind has planned
And I've been lying
Through my teeth
At my father's grave
To reclaim the vessels
Of the debts I have paid
The bark from the crow's nest
The salt from the sea
But I think your bones were made only for me
It was either the war or battling the pits
Siphoning the liquor
Or gargling the piss
Her hands filled with diamonds
Her eyes melt the fire
Tearing the sky with a blinking desire
This leathery bone
Of flower thinned grey
Gnaws at the marrow
The core of the frame
The keys by the kitchen door
Wink as I sleep
But I think your bones were made only for me
The lamps on the street shine
We waltz through the light
We're two ballroom dancers
The ink in the night
Callouses mingle, blisters combine
I'll offer you the little I can claim that is mine
A mandolin veined secretly in the tide
That leaks from the pipework
Together we'll find
The yellow green patterns
The salt from the sea
But I think your bones were made only for me
Yes I think your bones were made only for me
