I greeted death like an old familiar friend And we haven't spoken in awhile But I knew it wouldn't be long until we meet again How could I forget that lonesome, boney smile? Skeleton man Won't you take my stone-cold hand? No need to stress, no need to worry Now that my dreams are dead Phantom in black Won't you take the long way back? No need to stress, no need to worry No need to change your plans Just take it slow Skeleton ghost Me and Death, we go way back We first met when I was younger, with my favorite childhood pet Then when I bеcame a man Death and I got acquainted fast Thеn through the years The blood, sweat and tears I'm afraid he's my only friend But I cheated Death at a high-stakes poker bet And our friendship hasn't been the same way since Skeleton man Won't you take my stone-cold hand? No need to stress, no need to worry Now that my dreams are dead Phantom in black I know there's no easy way back There's no need to stress, no need to worry No need to change your plans Just take it slow Skelton ghost Skeleton ghost Skeleton ghost
