Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I fractured bones

While on the phone with you tonight

Now I'm all alone

No one to care for me

[Verse 2]

I shattered hopes

While throwing stones through holes in my mind

No, I'm not alone

Someone still stares at me

[Chorus]

I'm the skeleton man

Take a chance on me tonight

Just tryin' to dance

Just tryin' to dance

Cage my heart and free my mind

[Verse 3]

I stumbled home

Can't find a bone to pick tonight

See, I'm all alone

A rose where you buried me

[Verse 4]

I'm seeing red

I'm seeing red

I don't care if I'm dead or alive

As long as I'm wanted

I will survive

[Chorus]

I'm the skeleton man

Take a chance on me tonight

Just tryin' to dance

Just tryin' to dance

Cage my heart and free my mind

[Outro]

Just tryin' to dance

Just tryin' to dance

The skeleton man
