Poor Skeleton Steps Out - 2001 - Remaster

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, film stars, 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, hmm
(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 (skeleton)
(Step out, step out, step out, step out!)

Skeleton steps out (skeleton)
(Step out, step out, step out, step out!)
Skeleton steps out (skeleton)
You better watch out, here comes bony boy (step out, step out, step out, step out!)
Skeleton steps out (skeleton)
You better watch out, here comes bony boy (step out, step out, step out, step out!)
Now, step out
