Skeletons

A song I wrote in 2004 for my band SKELETONS.

He climbed up the hill to the cemetery
To visit his dead fiancé
The night was so dark and the clouds were black
And stony and bumpy the way
But then- what a shock
There was a moving shape at the rock
It was a man made of bones eye holes so black
He knew he would never come back

We dance – we are dead
It’s the dance of the dead
We’re leaving the graves and
We’re doing it every night

Skeletons – we’re still alive
Skeletons – we dance all night
I’ve got no heart to lose
Got no brain to use

This is the time of dead
And we're doing a party
And no one is staying at home
The skeletons playing their old graveyard songs
The mummies are singing along

We dance – we are dead
It’s the dance of the dead
We’re leaving the graves and
We’re doing it every night

Skeletons – we’re still alive
Skeletons – we dance all night
I’ve got no heart to lose
Got no brain to use

Skeletons – we’re still alive
Skeletons – we dance all night
I’ve got no heart to lose
Got no brain to use
