Poor Skeleton Steps Out - XTC

Poor skeleton steps out, dressed up in bad blood

Bad brains, bad thoughts and others deeds

Poor skeleton no doubt, one of these days

You can cast aside your human, be free

When the cities run with blood and you drink our health in mud

All flesh be gone, save your dry and joyous shout

For the day poor skeleton steps out

Step out, step out, step out, step out

Poor skeleton steps out, sprung from his life sentence

Deep inside some muscle mask

Poor skeleton devout, propping up truck drivers

Filmstars, thieves or queens, your brave task

When technology is rust and you write your book in dust

All flesh be gone, can’t buy tickets from a tout

For the day poor skeleton steps out

Step out, step out, step out, step out

Poor skeleton steps out, liberated from sex organs

And brown, black, white skin

Poor skeleton, you lout, don’t you think

That we might like to have been asked to join in?

For good skeletons are we and we’re dying to be free

All flesh be gone, I will scream or sulk and pout

Until my poor skeleton steps out

Step out, step out, step out, step out

Skeleton steps out, step out, step out, step out, step out

Skeleton steps out, watch out, here comes bony boy

Step out, step out, step out, step out

Skeleton steps out, look out, here comes bony boy

Step out, step out, step out, step out, now, step out
