lyrics

I rode the rails of ghost trains
of haunted hopes and shameful refrains.
Instead of closeting all I recant
I'll set them free, dance skeletons dance.

Come on and dance you skeletons dance.
Come on and dance you skeletons dance.

I've hung my head bemoaning my crimes
and I'd repent for my spent feral prime.
My sad sack world of skewed circumstance
It's time to dance, you skeletons dance.

Come on and dance you skeletons dance.
Come on and dance you skeletons dance.

My better angels surrendered their wings
Now I don't care about anything
Instead of pining for lame happenstance
I'm gonna dance to my skeletons' dance

Come on and dance you skeletons dance.
Come on and dance you skeletons dance.
