somebody said that it's not a good time to sell
economy's down and your mind is unsound
and your body's an empty shell
my spirit got lost now something is missing
all the people round here are too bony for kissing
i was lying in bed when i woke up dead
i was cool ... but not too calm
must've stolen my soul through a photograph
or a jungle voodoo charm
my spirit got lost now something is missing
all the people round here are too bony for kissing
we dance around the gravestones
and we drag the chains around
we clatter 'n clank 'n we chatter 'n skank
and when we get down it's into the ground
there'l lalways be a chair for you in the corner of my heart
a table for two for me and you for as long as we're apart
my spirit got lost now something is missing
all the people round here are too bony for kissing
we dance around the gravestones
and we drag the chains around
we clatter 'n clank 'n we chatter 'n skank
and when we get down it's into the ground
from cradle to grave then back to the cradle again
six hundred dumb creatures to make up the souls of ten men chorus
