lyrics

Often have I dreamed of nightmare whispers which confide
That deep within each one of us are secrets we can't hide
We may be breathing.
We may seem to be alive.

But oh my god!

There's a skeleton inside.

Every day they all go out and join the bony mob
Skeletons on every street and working every job
And when we're home at evening and we're aching to be fed
Best believe it was a skeleton that baked our daily bread

And I cannot see a future where I still have eyes to see
Cuz there's a skeleton inside me that is dying to be free

As you are
Once we were
As we are you shall become

Skeletons on bicycles and skeletons in cars!
When the sun has gone down it's our bones that fill the bars
So come on clap your skele-hands, stompy your skele-feet
Everybody's grooving to that danse macabre beat

Remember when the times are hard and life has got you down
Your skeleton's still grinning underneath that fleshy frown!
And when your bones are laid to earth and you've breathed your final breath
They'll rise and shed their sagging skin and dance the dance of death!

I've got a skeleton in me
You've got a skeleton in thee
Everybody skeleton skeleton skeleton
Everybody skeleton skeleton skeleton
Everybody skeleton skeleton skeleton
