Lyrics

Skeletons

[Verse 1]

There's a gaping hole in the way we are

With nothing to fill it up anymore

No flesh, no blood, just broken bone

A frame to hang our lives from

[Chorus]

We're living like skeletons

We're living like skeletons

[Verse 2]

Won't someone wake the dead in me?

Won't someone shake the dust off me?

Give me water, give me bread

But don't give me up for dead

[Chorus]

We're living like skeletons

We're living like skeletons

[Bridge]

We-, liv-, li-, sk-, ....

[Chorus]

We're living like skeletons

We're living like skeletons

[Outro]

We're living like skeletons

Feeling like skeletons

We're living like skeletons

Feeling like skeletons

Living like skeletons

Skeletons
