Bones

As cavemen shake in awe
At fires and shadow
Come in from the cold
Peel off their animal skins
Dance in the night by firelight
The Ice Age melts
The hunter sweats
The paintings on the wall
Speak of an eloquent heart
Who was the first, the first to say
Let's monetise this, let's make it pay?
For only a man with a reindeer jaw 
Can look at these things
Only a man with a reindeer jaw 
Can look at these things

It's as old as the bones in the cave
As old as the bones in the cave
As old as the bones in the cave
As old as the song in our heart

A counting horse in a circus
End of career
Two plus two plus two
Is just a tap on the ear
A magic hack with a hat full of birds
A nervous tick, butterfingers
Trembles in the audience's animal stare
Who was the first to stamp her feet
Show off for coins, be indiscreet
Play the piano on the street
Say "I can do this!"
Play the piano on the street
Say "I can do this!"

It's as old as the bones in the cave
As old as the bones in the cave
As old as the bones in the cave
As old as the song in our heart
As old as the bones
Old as the bones 
As old as the bones in the cave

Bones

Geiger Counter

There is no underground machine can
Calculate away collision
It's just a leap you've got to
It's just a leap you've got to take

There's no device no Geiger counter
Will keep you from invisible harm
It's just a price you've got to
It's just a price you've got to pay

It's just a calibration
Return to factory and fix
It's just a calibration 
A little rearrange and fix 

The line goes round the block they're 
Queuing up to tell you how you're wanting
They're just a voice you've got to
They're just a voice you've got to kill

It's just a leap you've got to
It's just a leap you've got to take
