Only the Stones Remain |
| Men were executed, women bled |
| Beads and fish changed hands and |
| Children stayed up late |
| Uh huh |
| Colored drums they stretched the night |
| There’s a taxidermist looking for a fight |
| But now he’s gone |
| Ah yeah, only the stones remain |
| Girls were decked with flowers and violated while |
| Boys spat juice from out of their fresh young bulbs |
| Soldiers crossed their hearts and died and |
| Pretty girls turned cold inside |
| But now they’re gone |
| Ah yeah, only the stones remain |
| Oh they’re gone, yeah |
| Only the stones remain |
| And the stones have forgotten them |
| The stones have forgotten them |
| They break your body and drain the life out of it |
| It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above |
| And when there’s no more tears to cry, there’s |
| Nothing left to do but laugh |
| Stained glass elaborations collapse and candyfloss evaporates, honey |
| Only the stones remain, here they go |
| Ah yeah, only the stones remain |
| Now they’re gone |
| Ah yeah, only the stones remain |
| Ah yeah, only the stones remain |
