The New Pornographers; The Bones of an Idol You hold up the cup You've been searching for Since you were young When you still had the bones of an idol If you still had the bones of an idol You'd be long long gone But something keeps turning you on
We cling to the raft we are missing By half what we wanted But we escaped with the bones of an idol Escaped with the belt and the title But our land is gone
Noelle
You hold up the cup
You've been searching for
Since you were young
When you still had the bones of an idol
If you still had the bones of an idol
You'd be long long gone
But something keeps turning you on
We cling to the raft we are missing
By half what we wanted
But we escaped with the bones of an idol
Escaped with the belt and the title
But our land is gone
And something keeps turning us on
