Frank Black and the Catholics
Skeleton Man
I'm a skeleton
I'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton
Hold my skeleton hand
I met a child in the hills from the people of the corn
It's been eight hundred years since this child was born
And in his ribs I found a pearl
An offering from the corn world
I'm a skeleton
I'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton
Hold my skeleton hand
Hold my hand
We'll walk in the hot sun
Hold my hand
In the hot sand
I'm a skeleton
I'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton
(Yeeeeaahh)
Down in the valley where there used to be the farms
Doctor Digger found a room full of arms
And now there's just a dog that barks (Woof, woof, woof, woof!)
Chained to a one-man trailer park
Thought I heard him say
Hold my hand
We'll walk in the hot sun
Hold my hand
In the hot sand
(I'm a skeleton)
(I'm a skeleton man)
Hold my skeleton
Hold my skeleton hand
I'm a skeleton
I'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton
Hold my skeleton hand
I'm a skeleton
I'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton
Hold my skeleton hand
I'm a skeleton man
