Skeletons On Parade

[00:00.71] Behind a curtain of towering pines
[00:04.36] The sun settling red
[00:08.25] A city hidden high in the hills
[00:12.33] Comes out to honor the dead
[00:16.88] Families somberly walk through the town
[00:20.04] They build altars and pray
[00:24.79] Clean the tombs and clutch rosaries
[00:28.12] And speak of better days
[00:32.65] From the edge of the island
[00:36.18] They ferry back to the shore
[00:40.25] They climb under their covers
[00:44.23] And pray a little more
[00:47.83] In this ancient city of stones
[00:51.88] They sigh and bow their heads
[00:55.95] The living seem rather, well, dead
[01:04.65] Oh, yeah
[01:12.27] The sun is down
[01:14.52] The earth shakes
[01:16.01] The wind doth howl
[01:18.51] And I'm makin' moves all across the park
[01:22.64] We're stirring in the dark
[01:28.06] The caskets squeak
[01:30.52] The trees wheeze
[01:31.72] The crypts all creak
[01:34.53] And toes sepulchered for months and months in dust
[01:38.71] Are wiggling off their crust, whoa
[01:44.17] Shed your shrouds
[01:46.32] Slip your fingertips through the ground
[01:50.53] Get those catacombs open, I'm hoping you'll join us
[01:54.93] Everybody come on out, yeah
[01:59.98] What a lovely, lovely night
[02:03.45] For a drink and a parade
[02:07.79] We'll dance until the morning light
[02:11.74] This town should be afraid
[02:16.00] What a lovely, lovely night
[02:19.77] For a drink and a parade
[02:23.58] We'll dance until the morning light
[02:27.79] This town should be afraid
[02:32.00] Candied pumpkins, sweet egg bread
[02:36.23] We love rising from the dead
[02:40.07] Carpals, tarsals, vertebrae
[02:44.06] That's us clicking on parade
[02:48.06] I move without any muscles
[02:49.81] My skull's a cavernous hall
[02:52.24] Tendons are made for pulling, my friend
[02:54.02] I don't need them at all
[02:56.17] Mescal in our mandibles
[02:58.31] And porridge on our ribs
[03:00.15] Their prospects are looking quite grim
[03:04.88] Board the mariposas now
[03:08.53] Set sail for the quivering light ahead
[03:12.49] We're desceding on the town
[03:16.35] The living we're scaring
[03:18.16] Nightmaring in fright
[03:20.11] They've waited forever to bring us together
[03:22.58] We finally wake them up tonight
[03:31.87] Yock dehay

[04:00.41] Pandemone the plaza
[04:02.34] Tiba-fibia-fie
[04:04.00] You ligamentary lifers
[04:05.84] Your fractured foolish plight
[04:08.62] Pluck yourself from your gravesite

[05:40.01] You wouldn't want the sun to catch you missing from your beds
[05:47.49]
