"Uncle Skeleton"

We're coming in for landing
All right, here we go

You have to shake the flesh off to open up the body's door
You have to let the skeleton breathe
That's the thing the skeleton's for
So use a scalpel, use a knife, shuck the flesh off in a pile
You need to keep the skeleton entertained
You gotta make the skeleton smile

All right, we're coming in for that landing
If flesh is a curtain, if flesh is a mask
If flesh is a love song to deceive
Skeleton waiting for a higher task
Mustn't let the skeleton leave
The face bone's connected to the hand bone
By the hand that the skeleton feeds
Then put that hand deep in your pocket
Don't you know the skeleton's go needs?

That's right, he does
Now do they include you or not?
That is the question

Do they include you or not?

Lauren, lately I've been calling
What's the likelihood that you're still at this number?
I'm falling, the devil's in there stalling
From across this ocean, I can still call Lauren

The face bone's connected to the hand bone
Bite the hand that the skeleton feeds
The skeleton's waiting in the wing
You mustn't let the skeleton leave
So even if you're tired of losing, maybe you believe in your skin
Lay down an easy card, better let the skeleton win

I'm calling to see if you're still falling
I wonder if the same things are true that we said before
Now I feel I'm endless, soaring
Every night, it's the same thing that you do, we fall, we fall
And then we call

We
Ooh
