The Skeleton Song Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

One day my skeletons appeared 

And I knew where they were coming from 

Hung by a rope I volunteered 

And I never thought the day would come 

Some boundaries I once overstepped 

Shortcomings I must now accept 

Secrets that could not be kept 

I wish my skeletons had slept 

You're not being honest really 

You're really not and ought to be 

Take an honest look at yourself 

Try a little honesty 

To further add to my demise 

Demons never exorcised 

Appeared before my very eyes 

To no one's just my own surprise 

A scenario just so surreal 

Demons once so well concealed 

Were now throughout my whole ordeal 

So real and painfully revealed 

You're not being honest really 

You're really not and ought to be 

Take an honest look at yourself 

Try a little honesty 

You're not being honest really 

And honestly you've never been 

You ought to take a look at yourself 

Let the honesty begin 

In flew the accusations 

The razor-toothed insinuations 

Each ghost my own creation 

And every monster my invention 

Beasts they came to burden 

Hell I let whatever stirred in 

And I couldn't get a word in 

At this unearthly intervention 

They let up when they knew they got through 

They knew I'd never be the same 

With little left to say or do 

They left as quickly as they came 

The life was scared half out of me 

Some way somehow I survived 

A part of me was proud of me 

The day my skeletons arrived 

You're not being honest really 

You're really not and ought to be 

Take an honest look at yourself 

Try a little honesty 

Try a little honesty 

(Try a little honesty)
