lyrics

Some skinny girls they don't like meat
Some care a lot for birds and trees
I'm just a beggar and a thief
I'll take what you got if it comes for free

Ellie don't like boys who take their own
She's got the lightest feeling in her bones
Wrap your hands around, they'll cut you though
She's got a cause, she's in the wars
Ellie's bones

I know a lot of men just like me
Stuck with what they got, attuned to what they need
They count their idle time by hand
And from hand to mouth do the best they can

But Ellie don't like boys who take their own
She's got the lightest feeling in her bones
Wrap your hands around, they'll cut you though
She's got a cause, she's in the wars
Ellie's bones

But you don't know what you got when you're under it
No, you can't say what you got until it's got ya
Under its spell

I see them bodies in the fields
Trapped beneath her silence, her liberty
But I've still got my hands and feet
I scratch and crawl through your smithereens

But Ellie don't like boys who remain whole
She'll take the lightest feeling out of your soul
Wrap your hands around the victory poll
She's got a cause, she's in the wars
Ellie's bones

She's got a cause (Ellie's bones)
She's in the wars (Ellie's bones)
She's got a cause
Ellie's bones
Ellie's bones
