Poor Skeleton Steps Out by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Poor skeleton steps out,
Dressed up in bad blood,
Bad brains, bad thoughts, and others deeds.
Poor skeleton no doubt,
One of these days,
You can cast aside your human, be free.
When the cities run with blood,
And you drink our health in mud,
"All flesh be gone."
Save your dry and joyous shout,
For the day poor skeleton steps out.
Poor skeleton steps out,
Sprung from his life sentence,
Deep inside some muscle mask.
Poor skeleton devout,
Propping up truck drivers,
Filmstars, thieves or queens, your brave task.
When technology is rust,
And you write your book in dust,
"All flesh be gone."
Can't buy tickets from a tout,
For the day poor skeleton steps out.
Poor skeleton steps out,
Liberated from sex organs,
And brown, black, white skin.
Poor skeleton you lout,
Don't you think that we might,
like to have been asked to join in?
For good skeletons are we,
And we're dying to be free,
"All flesh be gone."
I will scream or sulk and pout,
Until my poor skeleton steps out.
Better watch out, here comes bony boy.

Poor Skeleton Steps Out (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Pobre esqueleto sale,
Vestido de mala sangre,
Malos cerebros, malos pensamientos, y otras acciones.
Pobre esqueleto sin duda,
Uno de estos días,
Puedes desechar tu humano, ser libre.
Cuando las ciudades corran con sangre,
Y bebas nuestra salud en el barro,
Toda carne se haya ido.
Guarda tu grito seco y gozoso,
Para el día en que el pobre esqueleto salga.
Pobre esqueleto sale,
Liberado de su cadena perpetua,
En lo profundo de alguna máscara muscular.
Pobre esqueleto devoto,
Sosteniendo a camioneros,
Estrellas de cine, ladrones o reinas, tu valiente tarea.
Cuando la tecnología sea óxido,
Y escribas tu libro en el polvo,
Toda carne se haya ido.
No se pueden comprar entradas a un revendedor,
Para el día en que el pobre esqueleto salga.
Pobre esqueleto sale,
Liberado de los órganos sexuales,
Y piel morena, negra, blanca.
Pobre esqueleto, patán,
¿No crees que nosotros podríamos,
haber querido que nos pidieran unirnos?
Pues buenos esqueletos somos,
Y nos morimos por ser libres,
Toda carne se haya ido.
Gritaré o me enfurruñaré y haré pucheros,
Hasta que mi pobre esqueleto salga.
Mejor ten cuidado, aquí viene el chico huesudo.
