Lyrics

Dance your skin off,
Unveil the bones.
Sing your chin off,
Let out the tones.
Ribs and sockets reveal the ones
Living as naked skeletons.

Who are you and who am I?
Flay the covers, wonder why
Mulling can make the skull so vulnerable —
Will you dare to bare your soul?

Dance your skin off,
Unveil the bones.
Sing your chin off,
Let out the tones.
Ribs and sockets reveal the ones
Living as naked skeletons.

The skin will crawl —
This sarcous sheath —
But aren’t we all
Osseous underneath?
When blood has fled,
And all that’s red,
What’s really dead?

Bare the sternum, bare the spine —
See how much the two align.
Let teeth betray what lips would never say.
Sever nerves from vertebrae.

Dance your skin off,
Unveil the bones.
Sing your chin off,
Let out the tones.
Ribs and sockets reveal the ones
Living as naked skeletons.
