Just take a step right out of your skin And be a skeleton... It takes some faith to rip off your face And do a bone dance all over the place Cause if that's what you wanna do with your life come on and Be a Skeleton To leave behind all of the struggle and strife come on and Be a Skeleton Come on be a skeleton Come on take off all your skin Come on be a skeleton Let us see your boney grin Come on be a skeleton Come on let's see what's within Come on be a skeleton Come on be my boney twin If you wanna be bones, be bones with us If you wanna be bones, be bones with us Just lock the door and unplug the phone And turn into bones If you want bring over some guests As long as they don't have flesh Cause if that's what you wanna do with your life come on and Be a Skeleton To leave behind all of the struggle and strife come on and Be a Skeleton Come on be a skeleton Come on take off all your skin Come on be a skeleton Let us see your boney grin Come on be a skeleton Come on let's see what's within Come on be a skeleton Come on be my boney twin If you wanna be bones, be bones with us If you wanna be bones, be bones with us

Bones Are Us 04:22
There's bones in me there's bones in you There's bones in everything we do Sometimes our bones might even break That's alright, that's ok There's bones in every move you make There's bones in every step you take One day our bones will fade away That's the way bones get made And everytime a bone breaks inside you A bone breaks inside me Every little bone inside of us Is called humanity Cause' everybody knows our bones are us And that's reality Bones are reality There's bones inside us every day Inside the marrow shows the way There is a strength that lies within Underneath, all our skin More bones than you can ever count It doesn't matter the amount Sometimes we gotta let it out Sometimes bones make us shout And every time a bone breaks inside you A bone breaks inside me Every little bone inside of us Is called humanity Cause' everybody knows our bones are us And that's reality I know one thing for sure I'm glad to have my bones Cause' when I'm feeling down They always stand me up There's bones in every living thing Metaphorically speaking And one day bones will pass away So enjoy them today And every time a bone breaks inside you A bone breaks inside me Every little bone inside of us Is called humanity Cause' everybody knows our bones are us And that's reality And every time a bone breaks inside you A bone breaks inside me Every little bone inside of us Is called humanity Cause' everybody knows our bones are us And that's reality Bones are reality

Bone Dry 04:14
I came to the west coast To be a celebrity Didn't know what I'd find there Maybe stars and a shining sea When I came barreling down On old Los Angeles All I could recognize Was sand as far as the eye could see The bones of men Women, and children Were lying all around On the hot dry ground Without a sound I climbed up the hillside Tryna find some survivors there As I passed by the Hollywood sign And mansions, all were in disrepair Made my way to the Spielberg's Came in through the open door All I saw was a coyote Licking Steve's skull on the dusty floor The bones of men Women, and children Were lying all around On the hot dry ground Without a sound I knew the drought Was going on But who knew it was so wrong To wanna water your lawn Like Icarus The city of angels will melt its wings So begins the reign of the mighty sun king Took a couple of oscars From Scorcese and Steve Mcqueen Then I drove from the sunset Boulevard of broken dreams The bones of men Women, and children Were lying all around On the hot dry ground Without a sound

Bony Feeling 03:09
Sit a couple bone men round the table Cause I never had a family of my own Call me mad, crazy or unstable With friends like these I never feel alone Everybody get a bony feeling Everybody have a bony evening Everybody needs a friend to call their very own Out back gotta bone man playing baseball Cause I never had a dad to throw with me Dig a few more bone men from the graveyard Got me a complete baseball team Everybody get a bony feeling Everybody have a bony evening Everybody needs a friend to call their very own I had a bony revelation Don't lay your judgment on me Don't need your human expectations I only wanna be free Fit a couple bonemen in a suitcase Left one at home to miss me when I'm gone Gonna take a bone-ified vacation Gonna be a bone man in no time at all Everybody get a bony feeling Everybody have a bony evening Everybody needs a friend to call their very own Everybody get a bony feeling Everybody have a bony evening Everybody needs a friend to call their very own

Hey baby don't you know I got bones a' growing Ten of em' a day Down on my farm by evergreen way Come see just what I mean it's a competition And my batch is the best These home-grown bones rise above the rest Hey mama Is it a sin To be growing me a skeleton Come take a Look at these bones That grow right here beneath these slabs of grey stone I got a little deal with the local people They bring me the seeds One long wood casket's all that I need I plant em' in the ground and I wait a couple Months for em' to grow These big bad bones break right through the snow Hey mama Is it a sin To be growing me a skeleton They send long boxes of wood I plant them deep down underground till' they're good In the sun And the rain A skeleton will grow so well It will sell like grain In the sun And the rain A skeleton will grow so well Yes a skeleton will grow so well Yes a skeleton will grow so well That you'll go insane (4x) Ooh mawma don't you make any fuss about it I've got enough slack That local sheriff's all on my back I don't care what they think But they sure got plenty To say about me Some call my farm a cemetery Hey mama Is it a sin To be growing me a skeleton Come take a Look at these bones That grow right here beneath these slabs of grey stone

The whale that's been beached Whose bones have been bleached The surfer who got mangled on the sharp reef The hand in the sand All that remains of a surf band Bikini'd skeletinis getting bone tans The bones on the beach With life just out of reach They bear the glow Like moonlit snow In May The lost pirate's chest The ribs are all that's left Last measure of his treasure are his gold teeth The skull of a hunk The grave of a babe Sundown leaves them rundown By a big wave The bones on the beach With life just out of reach They bear the glow Like moonlit snow In May Until they wash away... Bones wash away Until they wash away Bones wash away (ad infinitum)

Old Bones 03:03
Old Bones I've given all I've got I've worked an awful lot And I am ready for a rest Old Bones I break so easily Move me oh so carefully And hear me groan under the stress When I was young bones I would grow a lot I grew a family Of bones shaped just like me Old Bones Wander around house My hands are often found Holding pictures shakily Old Bones I'm down upon my knees I'm praying for release I am ready for a rest When I was young bones I was strong enough To life my children high Way up into the sky My children Had children Their bones are lifting children up My children Had children Their bones are lifting children up My children Had children Their bones are lifting children up

Do you remember Halloween 2003? And those plastic skeletons hung from the tree And oh how they scared the little ones The simples ones Wasn't that fun Well I took those bones down to the riverside And put 'em in some lawn chairs where they would reside And sink way on down below the stream A perfect scheme Just like a dream Well I got a call From the local sheriff Just an hour ago And he spoke of An investigation of suspicious bones And they had my DNA What was I supposed to say? During the investigation I just froze All I had to say was that were fake bones But oh how that bad cop frightened me And in spite of me Eventually, I confessed Now I'm locked up I'll never pull another prank on you again I might as well Be a sack of bones here in my pig pen And what I've learned is not to fold Like a lawn chair when you're told So take it from me Never put your fake bones in a sacred place or face reality

I was just a poor french boy Buried in the catacombs Then they built a grocery store on me On me... (2x) Now I'm just a bone-vivant Drink fine wine before I haunt The people in the grocery store on me On me... (2x) Died of the plague At a very young age And then they built a grocery store on me Je suis un phantom solitaire A boy-shaped piece of solid air Because they built a grocery store on me On me... (2x) My skeleton lies in the dark Underneath your shopping cart Because they built a grocery store on me On me... (2x) Died of the plague At a very young age And then they built a grocery store on me
