Fishes Bones Lyrics

The back door
The back door
The back door's open
Are you needing a boost?
Inside is where my chickens roost
Just because you haven't got a TV in there
Are you needing a boost?
Just because you haven't got a TV in there
A person must be who they am
Doing the very best they can
How you get here
How did you get here?
I've often wondered
How will you get there?
I haven't a clue
What's the plan?
How will you get there?
How do you plan?
No!

I've often wondered what the f*ck was going on in there
I'm counting fishes
Am making the dishes
I will… make all your wishes come true
Come true
Come true
They'll come true
I sent a message to your mobile home
I'm counting rings in a fish's bones
I'm counting rings/bones

Bones/rings
Bones/rings
Fishes!
Bones/rings
Bones/rings
Fishes! Rings!
Bones/rings
Fishes! Rings!

Rings and rings and rings and rings and rings…

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
