lyrics

One day if I'm lucky
somebody will make my bone dust
into a lovely cup
for well-poised lips to sip their tea from
delicately, delicately
delicately, now
True, your bootstraps may wear thin,
but pull yourself up by them anyhow, Deary
oh, dear, deary me
no time
no time
no time
no time for tears
no tears
and no fear preserving our bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we''ll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust

Wish I could recollect
every brilliant thing you've ever said
such tricksy, fickle things
flit, fleeting so easily
into banal annals of daily drudgery
so go on, trudge on
endlessly
on sleep, or no sleep
no sleep, no sleep
no sleep, no sleep
no sleep for dreaming
no dreams, no dreams
no dreams
and no hope but certainty
of our bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we''ll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust

I jumped right out of my skin
shadowboxin'
something insidious this way creeps
so I spun around swinging wildly
but the shadow was me
oh lonely me
yeah, there's only me
oh lonely me

Hot and heavy down my neck
I can feel Death's stinging breath
on the crimson gash spurting
my mortality
and my bones,
my bones
rattle
and creak
foretelling all tha's left of you and me is gonna be
Bone dust
Bone dust
one day we'll all be bone dust
Bone dust
Bone dust
you and me, destined to be
Bone dust

so dance dance dance dance dance
like it could be be be your last
cuz we're all gonna be
bone dust
