[XTC - Poor Skeleton Steps Out lyrics]
Poor skeleton steps out
Dressed up in bad blood
Bad brains, bad thoughts and others deeds
Poor skeleton no doubt, one of these days
You can cast aside your human, be free
When the cities run with blood and
You drink our health in mud
All flesh be gone
Save your dry and joyous shout
For the day poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Poor skeleton steps out
Sprung from his life sentence
Deep inside some muscle mask
Poor skeleton devout
Propping up truck drivers
Filmstars, thieves or queens, your brave task
When technology is rust and you
Write your book in dust all flesh be gone
Can't buy tickets from a tout
For the day poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Poor skeleton steps out
Liberated from sex organs
And brown, black, white skin
Poor skeleton, you lout, don't you think
That we might like to have
Been asked to join in?
For good skeletons are we and
We're dying to be free all flesh be gone
I will scream or sulk and pout
Until my poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, step out
Step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, watch out
Here comes bony boy
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, look out
Here comes bony boy
Step out, step out, step out, step out, now
Step out
Dressed up in bad blood
Bad brains, bad thoughts and others deeds
Poor skeleton no doubt, one of these days
You can cast aside your human, be free
When the cities run with blood and
You drink our health in mud
All flesh be gone
Save your dry and joyous shout
For the day poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Poor skeleton steps out
Sprung from his life sentence
Deep inside some muscle mask
Poor skeleton devout
Propping up truck drivers
Filmstars, thieves or queens, your brave task
When technology is rust and you
Write your book in dust all flesh be gone
Can't buy tickets from a tout
For the day poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Poor skeleton steps out
Liberated from sex organs
And brown, black, white skin
Poor skeleton, you lout, don't you think
That we might like to have
Been asked to join in?
For good skeletons are we and
We're dying to be free all flesh be gone
I will scream or sulk and pout
Until my poor skeleton steps out
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, step out
Step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, watch out
Here comes bony boy
Step out, step out, step out, step out
Skeleton steps out, look out
Here comes bony boy
Step out, step out, step out, step out, now
Step out
