When the writing's on the wall When the writing's on the wall You better read it Make your bones, make your bones When the moment comes around You gotta seize it Take your bones, take your bones Pain comes, do your best to ease it Throw your bones, throw your bones A hundred people got a hundred lives left In their bones It's hard not to feel like the heartburn In my bones Every now and then I get so tired I rest my bones, rest my bones Sitting alone with my desires In my bones, in my bones A hundred people got a hundred problems Making bones It's hard not to feel like the heartburn In my bones I get to pick my poison You get to pick your poison I get to pick my poison And I pick you When the writing's on the wall You better read it Make your bones, make your bones Sometimes it's hard to know Just what you're needing Make your bones, make your bones Go thank your mom and dad For breeding them Make your bones, make your bones A hundred people got a hundred problems In their bones It's hard not to feel like the heartburn In my bones
