Bones

Bones

Higgs the human is all we see

But beneath the flesh lies you and me

It doesn't matter if you're short or tall?

A pretty, pretty body's just bones 'neath it all

You know what makes us unique?

A rattle in the ribs or a crack in the cheek

But we all look the same in a casket

A pile of bones in a wicker basket...

A pelvic bone, a patella

A rib cage, a clavicle

A skull with a mandible

Scapulae, vertebrae

A femur and a tibia

It's a skeleton party

We're all skeletal here

We don't have skin and we don't have hair

We can't shed a tear 'cause the ducts ain't there

But we still have fun 'cause we don't know when

Our bones will rattle and roll again

We rattle, and we roll

We clatter, and we clank

We shuffle, and we scuttle

We're a skeletal gang

We rattle, and we roll

We clatter, and we clank

We shuffle, and we scuttle

We're a skeletal gang

This is our music, this is our song

Play it on a xylophone

And you can play it

But you can't sing along

'Cause you're just not all bone

You can try, but you'll never know

The music only bones can make

You've got that pesky skin and meat

Your body just can't vibrate

No, you can never shake it

'Cause you're just too thick

But it'll all come out

When you get sick

When you're six feet underground

You can finally hear that bones sound

A rattle, a roll, a clatter, a clank

You're part of the skeletal gang

Bones
