At first this song's quirkiness was weird to me, but the chorus is awesome and got me to look up the lyrics. It's gotta be about the Prodigal son, right? Like most Killers songs, the song grows on me with every listen.

Felt fire in bone
(Fire in bone)
I felt fire in bone
(Fire in bone)

I felt cast out
I felt eighty-sixed
I felt darkness
But I felt fire in bone
I felt no good
I felt lowdown
And I felt alone
I felt unknown

I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone
Wrongly accused and disowned
I felt fire in bone

I felt big time
I felt major league
I felt weird sin
I felt fire in bone
I felt ripped off
Run down, wrung out
Empty, unseen
And preyed upon
I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone

When I came back empty-handed
You were waiting in the road
And you fell on my neck
And you took me back home
After all that I took from you
After all that I put you through
Here I am

I felt fire in bone
I felt washed up
I felt tempest-tossed and seasick
But I felt fire in bone
I felt mislead
I felt chained up, unclean, unknown
I felt unknown

I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone

They say no one's gonna save you
You've gotta make it on your own
But I called from the dark
And you picked up the phone
On my back in the raging blue
I looked up, and you cut right through

And when I came back empty-handed
You met me in the road
And you fell on my neck
And you took me back home
After all that I took from you
After all that I put you through
Here I am
