How many times
The Five Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You where in the engine room
Went there on your own
I don't wanna to hear the reasons
You need to turn up stones
All I really really want to know
All I really want to know
How many bones?
How many bones?
How many bones?
How many bones?

You went down sleepy valley with a pack of smokes
Shovel with the duck tape handle
Details from the hoax
But all I really really want to know
All I really want to know
How many bones?
How many bones?
How many bones?
How many bones?

In abandoned fallout shelter
Under rotted stairs
Should you had official warrant?
I don't even care
All I really really want to know
All I really want to know
How many bones?
How many bones?




How many bones?
Did you found down their?
