Have your cheers
And swallow your fears with mellow yellow
Is it the worst to be confused? Stuck in two
Today is golden, and you danced in the dark
Your room is smoking, and you stoked the blaze
Your trail is washed away, but you kept on moving
Is it true? You choked truth
Stuck in two? Screaming blue
Your parade is screaming, "Throw me something, Mister!"
Flashing lights, down in the west where the grass is greener
Beat your chest, it's the dead of winter
Come here faith you're running, and my feet are frozen
The ocean is wild and moving
And you feel the ghosts are soothing
Straight to the knife you're running
Splitting this painting!
Is it true? You choked truth
Stuck in two? Screaming blue
Your parade is screaming, "Throw me something, Mister!"
And you're stripping off clothes
And you're running the road
Screaming, "Someone please kick me!"
And you're dancing alone
And you're breaking your rope
Begging someone to kiss you
And when we're talkin' bout the War of the Ghosts!
Someone stop me, Just try and stop me
Don't Stop Me! Don't Stop Me! Don't Stop Me!
Loving the moonlight on your breasts
And the scent of your breath
While you're begging for best and singing
And singin', Singin', Singin'!, "AVE MARIA"!
I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones!
I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones!
I'm skin and bones! I'm skin and bones! Bones!
