Build another mansion on an old abandoned castle The rich get k**ed and the middle cla** prevail Some saint pre sold our tickets to a front row seat in hell And I'll buy my movie pa** just to say that I was there (Chorus) And I watched as the devil played Sketch (On Your Bones) On the flesh that covers your bones The pride you hold is gilded and it is (Truly old) And worn like the pencil that presses on this paper To forge a shadow of a mind spinning out of control
We've built our houses on all of our d**h beds Where hope lied waiting its long awaited d**h From a world that no one would know (Chorus) And I watched as the devil played Sketch (On Your Bones) On the flesh that covers your bones The pride you hold is gilded and it is (Truly old) And worn like the pencil that presses on this paper
