Mikelangelo And The Black Sea Gentlemen - Skeletons lyrics

We're all just skeletons Reclining on a beach of flesh Dancing in a sea of organs Through the lapping waves of blood We're all just skeletons (skeletons) Dancing in a sea of flesh Waiting for salvation from above When our mind has a thought, We all applaud it When our eyes fix on the price, We realise we can't afford it The whispering of the angels Falls down upon our heads As we dine upon the sacrament And drink all the nectar of the gods When the mast is falling, Will we hear it? When the ship is sinking, Will we keep on trying to steer it? As the water's rising, We slip in our swimming trunks And frolic with the fishes Like babes into the mouths of sharks We're all just skeletons Reclining on a beach of flesh Dancing in a sea of organs Through the lapping waves of blood We're all just skeletons Dancing in a sea of flesh Waiting for salvation from above Yes, we're dancing in the shadows of love As we wait for a sign from above
