The Skeleton Song

The Skeleton Song

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
(album: Pay Attention)

One day my skeletons appeared I knew where they were coming from Hung by a rope I volunteered I never thought the day would come Some boundaries I once overstepped Shortcomings I must now accept Secrets that could not be kept I wish my skeletons had slept You´re not being honest really You´re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself Try a little honesty To further add to my demise Demons never exorcised Appeared before my very eyes To no one´s just my own suprise A scenario just so surreal Demons once so well concealed Were now throughout my whole ordeal So real and painfully revealed You´re not being honest really You´re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself Try a little honesty You´re not being honest really And honestly you´ve never been You ought to take a look at yourself Let the honesty begin In flew the accusations, razor-toothed insinuations Each ghost my own creation, and every monster my invention Beasts they came to burden, hell I let whatever stirred in And I couldn´t get a word in, at this unearthly intervention They let up when they knew they got through They knew I´d never be the same With little left to say or do They left as quickly as they came The life was scared half out of me Some way somehow I survived A part of me was proud of me The day my skeletons arrived You´re not being honest really You´re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself Try a little honesty try a little honesty.
