Skeletons

Babe,
Skeletons.

‘Til death do we part,
Then in death we’ll dance,
Let’s wear out our hearts,
‘Cause we just have one chance.

To love like we mean it,
And make it all count,
To run the road ragged,
‘Til the road runs out.

Babe, someday,
We’re gonna be skeletons,
Give everyone a peek at our bones,

Babe, someday,
We’re gonna be skeletons,
But I won’t leave you alone.

Babe,
Gonna be skeletons.

In sickness and health,
And days that fall in between,
We’ll play the hands we’ve been dealt,
Whatever that means. 

Though mystics and gypsies,
Have cast out our fates,
We’ll walk hand in hand,
Together to our graves.

Babe, someday,
We’re gonna be skeletons,
Give everyone a peek at our bones,
Babe, someday,
We’re gonna be skeletons,
But I won’t leave you alone.

Babe,
Skeletons.

But if you cross,
Before I do,
All’s not lost,
‘Cause I will run to you.
And:

Babe, we will lay,
Together as skeletons,
And I won’t leave you alone.
Babe, we will lay,
Together as skeletons,
And I won’t leave you alone.

Babe,
Skeletons,
Babe.
