lyrics

The skeleton is waiting
Your body is a carrying bag
For a skeleton waiting
To be rotted out and freed

Left to die in the desert sun
His body fell and baked him dead
His skeleton tore through his skin
Stood up, moved on, and thought in its head

The skeleton is waiting
Your body is a carrying bag
For a skeleton waiting
To be rotted out and freed

The skeleton is just the first
Cemeteries once quiet and still
Rumble back to life again
The bones all sing as they walk up the hill
The first must meet them past the city
Its presence calls and reaches deep
The bones across the world can't wait
They tear on out as their host bodies sleep

The skeleton is waiting
Your body is a carrying bag
For a skeleton waiting
To be rotted out and freed

The bones are gathered on the hill
To hear the first of them proclaim
Life continues after death
But then the first sees, to its grief and shame
Its body has returned to it
A mass of sand inflating gore
Convulsive howls escape the void
His words send all the bones into uproar

The skeleton is waiting
Your body is a carrying bag
For a skeleton waiting
To be rotted out and freed
Only to be buried again
And dissolve into the earth
The bugs and bacteria
Are waiting for their birth
