Late at night, when the moon is high
There's a skeleton, his heart's come untied
He dances alone in his crumbling home
With no one to hold, he's all on his own
He strums his guitar, a melancholy tune
His bones are rattling, the lonely croon
In the darkness he searches for a friend
But all he finds is the echo of the wind
Lonely bones in a world of stone
Looking for a love he's never known
With a mournful beat, he sings his plea
Someone come and set this skeleton free
Bats in the belfry and a chill in the air
There's cobwebs in the corners and his ribs are going spare
His song across the graves is a song of despair
All he wants is a body and a sorrow to share
And save his lonely bones
Ooh, ooh
He strums his guitar, a melancholy tune
His bones are rattling, the lonely croon
In the darkness he searches for a friend
But all he finds is the echo of the wind
Lonely bones in a world of stone
Looking for a love he's never known
With a mournful beat, he sings his plea
Someone come and set this skeleton free
Lonely bones in a world of stone
Looking for a love he's never known
With a mournful beat, he sings his plea
Someone come and set this skeleton free
