Lyrics
1
She's a lonely old woman all skin and bone
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She took a little walk about an hour ago
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She's walkin' down by the old graveyard
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
That's where the graves is bare and the stones is hard
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She sees the bones a-lying around
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She swears she'll clean up the burial ground
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She goes to the church to get a broom
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
She knocks on the door to the parson's room
Boo
Chorus
Skin and bone
There's a cold, cold body lying in my bed
Skin, skin and bone
I still hear your last words echo through my head
Skin and bone
There's a cold, cold body lying in my bed
Skin and bone, we're just Skin and bone,
Is this how i'm gonna feel when I am dead
Is this how i'm gonna feel when I am dead
Is this how i'm gonna feel when I am dead
Is this how i'm gonna feel when I am dead

When the bell tolls midnight, come Halloween
I'm out stalking my sugar, got to dance and scream
I was hunting for my honey in our favorite haunts
All she left me was a trail of cold clues and taunts
When i finally found my baby my heart skipped a beat
She was going door to door trading tricks for treats
My baby fades like phantom in the gathering gloom
When she knocks on the door to the parson's room
