Skeletons |
| Skeletons in your closet |
| Itchin' to come outside |
| Messin' with your conscience |
| In a way your face can’t hide |
| Oh things are gettin' real funky |
| Down at the old corral |
| And it’s not the skunks that are stinkin' |
| It’s the stinkin' lies you tell |
| What did your mama tell you about lies |
| She said it wasn’t polite to tell a white one |
| What did your daddy tell you about lies |
| He said one white one turns into a black one |
| So, it’s gettin' ready to blow |
| It’s gettin' ready to show |
| Somebody shot off at the mouth and |
| We’re gettin' ready to know |
| It’s gettin' ready to drop |
| It’s gettin' ready to shock |
| Somebody done turned up the heater |
| An’a it’s gettin' ready to pop |
| Crevices in your pantry |
| Now what do we have in here |
| Havin' a daytime nightmare |
| Has always been your biggest fear |
| Oh things are gettin' real crucial |
| Up the old wazoo |
| Yet you cry, why am I the victim? |
| When the culprit’s why-o-you, oo oh |
| What did your mama tell you about lies |
| She said it wasn’t polite to tell a white one |
| What did your daddy tell you about lies |
| He said one white one turns into a black one |
| So, it’s gettin' ready to blow |
| It’s gettin' ready to show |
| Somebody shot off at the mouth and |
| We’re gettin' ready to know |
| It’s gettin' ready to drop |
| It’s gettin' ready to shock |
| Somebody done turning the heater |
| An' a it’s gettin' ready to pop |
| It’s gettin' ready to seep |
| You’re gettin' ready to freak |
| Somebody done picked up the talk box |
| We’re gettin' ready to speak |
| It’s gettin' ready to jive |
| It’s gettin' ready to gel |
| Somebody done gone let the lid off |
| We’re gettin' ready to smell |
| They’re gettin' ready to deal |
| You’re gettin' ready to ill |
| Somebody done just dropped the big dime |
| And they’re gettin' ready to squeal |
| It’s gettin' ready to turn |
| We’re gettin' ready to learn |
| Somebody done fired up the brimstone |
| And you’re gettin' ready to burn |
| It’s gettin' ready to shake |
| You’re gettin' ready to ache |
| Somebody done snitched to the news crew |
| And it’s gettin' ready to break |
| You’re gettin' ready to lie |
| They’re gettin' ready to spy |
| Somebody’s been put on the hot seat |
| And you’re gettin' ready to fry |
