we were splitting up  you split up instead  you lost your head last night  and your body came to bed  your face came back to haunt me  when your body ran away  i'd put them back together  but together they won't stay  skeletons in the closet  ghosts out in the hall  rattling chains and spirit trains  won't let me sleep at all  no rest for the stupid  people standing on my toes  i gave up things i should have kept  my violin has got no bow  i should have told you proper  laid out everything  but you were pushing separate bedrooms  and pulling all the strings  skeletons in the closet  ghosts out in the hall  rattling chains and spirit trains  won't let me sleep at all  been a long time without you  been a long and lonely lonely time  bitter tears have dried with years  and now my eyes won't cry  my god has beena comfort  and i'm managing to cope  though i'm a swinging single  dangling from your rope  skeletons in the closet  ghosts out in the hall  rattling chains and spirit trains  won't let me sleep at all  skeletons in the closet  ghosts out in the hall  rattling chains and spirit trains  won't let me sleep at all
