As night falls and shadows creep, the air is silent on my street Lying in my bed, questions in my head and it's all so quiet, quiet... ------------------ Then skeletons come out to play when my mind wonders and memories fade Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting my last coins on the game So i'll close that door, I'll seal the floors and they'll die away (x6) ------------------ Skeletons, remind me, where I have been Skeletons, remind me, what could have been So i'll close that door, I'll seal the floors ------------------ Then skeletons come out to play when my mind wonders and memories fade
