Coasting through the graveyards
Hanging with the lonely bones
Doesn't mean you left us
You just grew out of your homes!
Just because they've got
Your earthly name engraved in gold
Don't try to tell me
That this alters the world of your soul!
You can't take the gold with you anyway!

Healthy insides, mastermind
Perfect body, you gotta leave it behind!
Black couture dresses and your tailor-made suit
And the collagen they put in your lips
You can't take it with you!

Lonely bones waiting for you
I've got lonely bones, telling the truth
We got lonely bones, waiting for you, oh-oh-oh
Lonely bones, waiting for you

Coasting through the graveyards
Hanging with the lonely bones!
Doesn't mean they left us
You just grew out of your homes
Just because they've got
Your earthly name engraved in gold
Don't try to tell me that this alters the world of your soul!
You can't take the gold with you anyway!

We got shiny insides, we got a mastermind
Perfect body, you gotta leave it behind!
Black couture dresses and your tailor-made suit
And the collagen they put in your lips
You can't take it with you!

Got lonely bones waiting for you
I've got lonely bones, telling the truth
There are lonely bones lying for you
I got lonely bones, waiting for you

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
