lyrics
Put all my comic books up for sale
Send the money in the mail, if you would
Lost all my money in Lorraine
I kind of passed out on the train
Went to the Vatican today
It's a lot like they all say - it's big
I left your picture at the gate
In case they need another saint
She says
You know you will always have a home
And you'll always have a prayer
That you're not scared or all alone
I don't want to go picking up your bones
No I don't want to go picking up your bones
In the heart of Rome...
She says it's always summer here
Just knocking back the years, but you know
Katie's almost off to school
Full of dreams, acting cool
Your father's working overtime
You know he doesn't mind, but I do
Dead men don't rush the temple
They just barter with their souls
She says
You know you will always have a home
'Cause it's dangerous on the streets
And no one should walk alone
I don't want to go picking up your bones
No I don't want to go picking up your bones
Send the money in the mail, if you would
Lost all my money in Lorraine
I kind of passed out on the train
Went to the Vatican today
It's a lot like they all say - it's big
I left your picture at the gate
In case they need another saint
She says
You know you will always have a home
And you'll always have a prayer
That you're not scared or all alone
I don't want to go picking up your bones
No I don't want to go picking up your bones
In the heart of Rome...
She says it's always summer here
Just knocking back the years, but you know
Katie's almost off to school
Full of dreams, acting cool
Your father's working overtime
You know he doesn't mind, but I do
Dead men don't rush the temple
They just barter with their souls
She says
You know you will always have a home
'Cause it's dangerous on the streets
And no one should walk alone
I don't want to go picking up your bones
No I don't want to go picking up your bones
