• Skeleton Scramble

20 dollars a day, that’s what the city pays me
to dig these holes in the ground
After 20 years, turning sweat into tears
When I heard that haunting sound.
I Put my spade to the ground, started digging my way down,
As I’d done a hundred million times before
Just another custom bed, for some person freshly dead
The ground opened and I heard that twisted score

It was a party for the dead
A timeless dance that never ends
And I still don’t know what world I’m living in…
It was a skeleton scramble

I don’t care if you don’t believe me,
Thought my own eyes had decieved me
The dead were dancing, thrashing all around
The band was playing loud, I was spotted by the crowd
And they quickly pulled me down into the ground

(band leader):
Though we have died, our bones stayed alive
To continue drinking up the devil’s dew
We’re all bones and no meat, so relax and have a seat
You can join us when your life is through
Down here there’s no rest, and our band is the best
And the booze seeps in through the dirt
To keep dancing around and drinking the ground
It’s the only thing that brings us comfort
So just stay sitting there in my skeleton chair
Don’t be afraid or try to set sail
Cause hey, when your dead from a gash in the head
You’ll learn this our haunting ail.

(gravedigger): after 20 years, digging holes to bury fears
I never thought I’d find myself at home
I see a scramble of bones, it’s what’s left of Mayor Jones
He lived his life in Hell, now he’s at home
This place is so profound, I must stay underground
Just then I felt a tugging at my shirt
With a heave and one great pull, he saved my mortal soul
Larry came and pulled me from the dirt.

It was a party for the dead
A timeless dance that never ends
And I still don’t know what world I’m living in
It was a skeleton scramble

(Larry): What you have seen here is not for your eyes or ears
The dead have found their place, so find your own!
