Dance Semi-Macabre

The clock strikes 5, night becomes day

It's not light yet, the sky is grey

How come the bell thrashes my skull

At such an hour early and dull??

Is it nightmare or is it real??

Something is wrong in town, I feel

A skeleton dance about to start

Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart

Morning is comin' just like a ghost

Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most

Look out the window, it's time to see

The congregation which, unlike me,

Looks to the altar - it's help they search

Patientlypacing into the church

Looks to the altar - it's help they search

Patientlypacing into the church

A skeleton dance about to start

Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart

Morning is comin' just like a ghost

Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most

A skeleton dance

Movements feline, far fron grotesque

There's pas de deux and arabesque

Relaxed and full of unconstrained grace

Our pirouettes are simply ace

This phase carries me much like tide

My steps become more dignified

Shivers run through me just like a train

Tomorrow I will dance once again

A skeleton dance about to start

Dry bones will clatter, might fall apart

Morning is comin' just like a ghost

Grease all your joints, you'll need it the most

A skeleton dance.
