lyrics

I put my feet in my socks
I put my socks in my shoes
I put my shoes on the solid ground
I get my head on straight and then I get up and walk around

These brittle bones and this filthy skin
It's just a haunted house that I'm living in
And one of these days I'm gonna leave it all behind


Skin and bones, skin and bones
Four flimsy limbs on loan
I'm a ghost inside this skin, skin and bones


Well I pay my dues to the TV man
I pay my phone bill and my rent
I pay my tolls on the freeway and give the rest to the government

This money's like a no-good girl
You love her but she lets you down
But they don't take cash and they don't take credit
None of that's accepted where I'm bound


Skin and bones, skin and bones
Four flimsy limbs on loan
I'm a ghost inside this skin, skin and bones

Skin and bones, skin and bones
I'm a soul on my way home
I'm a ghost inside this skin, skin and bones


Maybe there's a lord above
And there may be a hell below
And there might be someplace in-between but for now I just don't know

There's just one thing I would ask my lord when they lay me down in the soil
Won't you let me roam this earth awhile
Once I shed this mortal coil
