Swingin' Single

We were splitting up

You split up instead

You lost your head last night

And your body came to bed

Your face came back to haunt me

When your body ran away

I'd put them back together

But together they won't stay

Skeletons in the closet

Ghosts out in the hall

Rattling chains and spirit trains

Won't let me sleep at all

No rest for the stupid

People standing on my toes

I gave up things I should have kept

My violin has got no bow

I should have told you proper

Laid out everything

But you were pushing separate bedrooms

And pulling all the strings

Skeletons in the closet

Ghosts out in the hall

Rattling chains and spirit trains

Won't let me sleep at all

Been a long time without you

Been a long and lonely lonely time

Bitter tears have dried with years

And now my eyes won't cry

My god has beena comfort

And I'm managing to cope

Though I'm a swinging single

Dangling from your rope

Skeletons in the closet

Ghosts out in the hall

Rattling chains and spirit trains

Won't let me sleep at all

Skeletons in the closet

Ghosts out in the hall

Rattling chains and spirit trains

Won't let me sleep at all
