Skeletal Dance
Venom · Greatest Hits & More [2001]
You give up on life mate, your not worth the fight
We're looking right through you to see to the soul
But sadly in your case your only a hole
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Living your life by the end of a string
You have to admit, it's not a great thing
Humptie's more older and Humptie's more wise
Except when he grins you'll see through the
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Now Mickey's a mouse, so his young brother says
The best crimes are cowardly, crime never pays
Violence, destruction and killing's the shout
Where does he hide when the cat is about?
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
Skeletal dance
