"Bones" is a song by Las Vegas-based rock band The Killers and is the eighth track on their second album Sam's Town, released in October 2006. It was originally titled It's Only Natural it in it's early stages and was to be the center-piece of their second album entitled Make You Feel Dirty, which, as the album title suggests, would feature edgy songs that would make the listner feel dirty much like Bones. Other tracks to be featured on the CD were: Uncle Jonny Did Cocaine (later renamed Uncle Jonny), the controversial Where Is She?, the early version of All The Pretty Faces, Daddy's Eyes, For Reasons Unknown, Where The White Boys Dance, and I Won't Let You Down. This idea was modified to the become the more upbeat, feel-good Sam's Town and the song was given a happier feel through the addition of a brass section. Other songs such as Uncle Jonny and For Reasons Unknown were also included on the second LP. Meanwhile, Daddy's Eyes, All The Pretty Faces, and Where The White Boys Dance were demoted to b-sides while Where Is She? was scrapped due to the controversy surrounding it and I Won't Let You Down disappeared entirely. Eventually, the song was released as the second single from Sam's Town in late November 2006. The single did not match the success of its predecessor and new center-piece track, "When You Were Young", only registering on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States at #21. The single fared slightly better in the United Kingdom, peaking at #15 in the UK Singles Chart.
The music video for the song is notable for being the first, and so far only, music video directed by filmmaker Tim Burton, featuring model/actress Devon Aoki.
