lyrics
48 years of living,
An angel in disguise,
48 years of loving,
Smiling with my eyes.
48 years of memories,
Neatly tucked away.
When daylight dies,
I hear them rise,
And dance upon their grave.
What's that sound,
Coming from the dresser
On a night as black as pitch?
What's that sound
Comin from the bureau,
Do I dare turn on the switch?
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones,
All bleached in deathly white.
I've got skeletons in my closet and,
They're rattlin' tonight.
The cheat bones connected to deceit bones,
And thereby connected to lies.
"I love you's" said indiscriminately,
Make the sockets for the eyes.
The love bones knock against the hate bones,
And fingers click in time.
There wont be sleep for the weary tonight,
Cause all those bones are mine.
What's that sound,
Coming from the dresser
On a night as black as pitch?
What's that sound
Comin from the bureau,
Do I dare turn on the switch?
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones,
All bleached in deathly white.
I've got skeletons in my closet and,
They're rattlin' tonight.
(---)
Hup, Hup, they're in my closet now.
Hup, Hup, Hup, I wouldn't wanna wake 'em.
Hup, Hup, they're in my dresser drawer.
Hup, Hup, Hup, I'm trying to forsake 'em.
What's that sound,
Coming from the dresser
On a night as black as pitch?
What's that sound
Comin from the bureau,
Do I dare turn on the switch?
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones,
All bleached in deathly white.
I've got skeletons in my closet and,
They're rattlin' tonight.
Hup, Hup, Hup.
Hup, Hup.
Hup, Hup, Hup.

Internationally known as The Fat Man, George Alistair Sanger’s influence is hard to overestimate. Through his work, his
writings, the founding of think-tanks, organizations and communities—but mainly his music—this “legendary game audio guru’s” fingerprints are all over much of what it means today to create game audio or listen to a game....more

(Haystack) One of my favorite VG OSTs ever. Module clearly had an immense amount of fun (and blood, sweat, and tears) making this. Thanks, man! I may be done playing Shatter, but I'll be listening to your music for years to come. Goes particularly well with my after-midnight, half-hour drives home each night after work! J.R. Caldoon
