Skeleton Man - Evangelicals

A stranger reaching out for your hand

An outlaw after hours leaning in

So if you see me acting out… understand

To be left out in the snow without a coat

Can do bad things to a man

Stranded and my insides are burning up

Outdoors catching cold, breathing smoke

So if you set me off I’ll burst into flames

Well it’s a baptism by fire, breathe in the heat

This does odd things to a man and

Love is strange

(Verse Two)

Skeleton man he says «I don’t care»

A chest left empty of the heart’s affairs

Well, it can carry other things that weigh much less

And a head all hollowed out leaves me alone

And I can get some rest

(«I love you» in background)

(Secrets, little secrets, when I’m not here)

(And skeleton men and friends reappear)

So if you see me acting out, you should know

Hands and knees knelt down and scraped, skin replaced bone

I once was a skeleton

(Outro)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

When someone loves you very much.

You’re fucked!
