The Skeleton Song - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

One day my skeletons appeared

And I knew where they were coming from

Hung by a rope I volunteered

And I never thought the day would come

Some boundaries I once overstepped

Shortcomings I must now accept

Secrets that could not be kept

I wish my skeletons had slept

You’re not being honest really

You’re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself

Try a little honesty

To further add to my demise

Demons never exorcised

Appeared before my very eyes

To no one’s just my own suprise

A scenario just so surreal

Demons once so well concealed

Were now throughout my whole ordeal

So real and painfully revealed

You’re not being honest really

You’re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself

Try a little honesty

You’re not being honest really

And honestly you’ve never been

You ought to take a look at yourself

Let the honesty begin

In flew the accusations, the razor-toothed insinuations

Each ghost my own creation, and every monster my invention

Beasts they came to burden, hell I let whatever stirred in And I couldn’t get a word in, at this unearthly intervention

They let up when they knew they got through

They knew I’d never be the same

With little left to say or do They left as quickly as they came

The life was scared half out of me Some way somehow I survived

A part of me was proud of me The day my skeletons arrived

You’re not being honest really

You’re really not and ought to be Take an honest look at yourself

Try a little honesty, try a little honesty
