The clock strikes 5, night becomes day It's not light yet, the sky is grey How come the bell thrashes my skull At such an hour early and dull? Is it nightmare or is it real? Something is wrong in town, I feel A skeleton dance about to start Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart Morning is comin' just like a ghost Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most Look out the window, it's time to see The congregation which, unlike me, Looks to the altar - it's help they search Patientlypacing into the church Looks to the altar - it's help they search Patientlypacing into the church A skeleton dance about to start Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart Morning is comin' just like a ghost Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most A skeleton dance Movements feline, far fron grotesque There's pas de deux and arabesque Relaxed and full of unconstrained grace Our pirouettes are simply ace This phase carries me much like tide My steps become more dignified Shivers run through me just like a train Tomorrow I will dance once again A skeleton dance about to start Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart Morning is comin' just like a ghost Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most A skeleton dance.
