skinny knee bone
throwing it all up all alone
carve it away until you find
the marble girl who's left behind
inside this block of stone
skinny knee bone
too far too near the sun your engines drone
jet planes trail across the skies
your skin and bone across my eyes
too far too light to land where you were thrown
the knee bone's connected to the jawbone
with a wire and a cable
we're gonna run the table
bet it all on black
bet it all on black
the knee bone's connected to the jawbone
with a wire and a cable
run the jawbone slack
run the jawbone slack
a ship in a bottle double bent without breaking
a ship in a bottle the art is in the making
skinny knee bone
so still inside the silk where you were sewn
all things come to those whose weight
is not the sum of all they ate
the finger on the scale was not your own
the knee bone's connected to the jawbone
with a wire and a cable
we're gonna run the table
bet it all on black
bet it all on black
