the skeleton song

The skeleton buried under the ground
dug himself out and he walked into town
he said, "I'm not done yet, I want some more air,"
And he sang and he danced while the people just stared
and he said to the people standing on the street
break away from you television screens
climb out of your cars and your shopping mall graves
cause life's not long enough to waste one single day.
He said, "Why do you live in coffins, when you can spend eternity there?
he said you might as well switch places with me, cause I'd much rather be dancing about in this air."
The skeleton buried under the ground
dug himself out and he walked into town
he said, "I'm not done yet, I want some more air,"
And he sang and he danced while the people just stared.
and as the sun shone on the skeleton's bones
he said, "Oh my God well I think I've come home,"
And he said
It's time to refuse to live in a grave
Time to refuse to live in a grave
he said as he sang and he danced in the sun
Time to refuse to live
in a grave.

Do you remember the night when we met half way across town?
So cold we could see our breaths
and the ice-covered ground
Thru the freezing city darkness, we'd walked all that way
for a moment to feel
the warmth of an embrace.
And while the city slept
we were dancing,
And while the city slept
we were laughing.
And those were the moments that offered some relief
from the routine day jobs and the sterile concrete
to look into your eyes and see something real
to hold on to living
to feel.
And while the city slept
we were dancing....
