SKELETON

​

All my thoughts are of ice

All my thoughts are of ice

All my bones are so tired

All my bones are so tired

So young and so handsome

So easily led

They told me to wait

They said

 

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun

 

And I've been consistent

To the fucking dream

And I've paid my dues

Just to get them all back

A simple man with simple desire

 

What should I have said?

What should I have done?

The horses are here

The damage is done

So just take off your shirt

And just take off your dress

We can go dancing

On a Saturday

 

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

It makes a man out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun out of me

You take the fun

 

And I've been consistent

To the fucking dream

And I've paid my dues

Just to get them all back

A simple man with simple desire

 

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton

 

And I've been consistent

To the fucking dream

And I've paid my dues

Just to get them all back

A simple man with simple desire

 

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton

I'm just a skeleton
