i ain't afraid of monsters
i ain't afraid of ghosts
cuz i am a future skeleton
i am up to my ears in bones (and bones and bones and bones...)
wave your skeleton hand to that skeleton man
i only joke around to see your skeleton laugh
when you turn the music up, i watch your skeleton dance
so let's free our bones and head on home to the skeleton land
i just might be a monster
cuz i only have one goal:
to free everybody's skeletons
and live in a world of bones (and bones and bones and bones...)
forgive me but i didn't hear a word you said
i was staring at those bones popping outta your head
rows of teeth cutting right on through the skin
trying to emancipate that skeleton within
and i'd be more that glad to shed your sheath
oh what was that, you said you wanted me to leave?
such a shame, i'd be game if you should ever change your mind
i can tell we'd look swell with our bones all intertwined
wave your skeleton hand to that skeleton man
i only joke around to see your skeleton laugh
when you turn the music up, i watch your skeleton dance
so let's free our bones and head on home to the skeleton land
we are made of scary stuff
so let's see those bones, i've had enough
