Skeleton Orchestra
The Skeleton Orchestra is all bones and rattles
They sit in the darkest corners of your mind
When you are simply just not in the mood
They come out and play you a tune
The skeletons are the ghosts of the past
Lacking a soul and a heart and a mind
They play their songs without missing a beat
But the music they make is as dead as they are
The violins screech until you cover your ears
The drums are loud and send earthquakes down below
The flutes make you shiver and the notes are all wrong
The cellos and trumpets make you want to run and hide
The melody scares the devil himself
The rotting teeth on their faces fill toothy grins
Their bony fingers clutch their old instruments
As they play and play their dreadful song
They’ll never stop, they are eternal
The wretched music will never cease
So you might as well give in to its sound
And sway to the beat until you rest in sleep
