Only the Stones Remain

Men were executed, women bled
 Beads and fish changed hands and
 Children stayed up late
 Uh huh
 Colored drums they stretched the night
 There's a taxidermist looking for a fight
 But now he's gone
 Ah yeah, only the stones remain
 Girls were decked with flowers and violated while
 Boys spat juice from out of their fresh young bulbs
 Soldiers crossed their hearts and died and
 Pretty girls turned cold inside
 But now they're gone
 Ah yeah, only the stones remain
 Oh they're gone, yeah
 Only the stones remain
 And the stones have forgotten them
 The stones have forgotten them
 They break your body and drain the life out of it
 It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above
 And when there's no more tears to cry, there's
 Nothing left to do but laugh
 Stained glass elaborations collapse and candyfloss evaporates, honey
 Only the stones remain, here they go
 Ah yeah, only the stones remain
 Now they're gone
 Ah yeah, only the stones remain
 Ah yeah, only the stones remain
