Rattle Dem Bones

by

Sunnyone

Do you ever wonder why_
When things are going well,
we try,
to find a way to bring it to an end?
If all is peace and harmony,
and all is going splendidly,
it’s time to stir dem bones up,
once again!

They’re stuck away,
behind the door_
(When we don’t need them, anymore)_
They much prefer the dark to honest light_
But now and then we set them free_
Old skeletons for all to see_
And rattle them to help us
win a fight_

Now, you have yours_
And I have mine_
But, in an argument, I find
that somehow they get mixed up,
at the start_
You stand there rattling mine at me_
And I shake yours, so you can see,
that we’re both armed,
while breaking both our hearts_

It’s not a pleasant sound to hear_
Dem bones are grating to the ear_
So next time we are headed for a fight_
Let’s throw away that closet key_
Keep skeletons where they
should be_
And_
If you’re willing?_
Let’s make love all night!
