Testi

Joey got sick in '82
Back there wasn't much the doctors could do
They put him in the General I.C.U
And the whispering started cause some people knew
Joey's got the sickness ain't got no cure
They put warning signs on Joey's door
Half of the staff on Joey's floor said
I ain't going in that room no more
Skeleton Town, it's a Skeleton Town
Shadows keep moving when the sun goes down
There's plenty of ways to say good-bye
In the darkness the shadows multiply
In Skeleton Town
Joey's daddy got angry and started to yell
Told the nurses they could all go straight to Hell
Put his fists on their counter, he looked 'em in the eye
He said, "My son deserves better" and he started to cry
Joey's mama walked up and grabbed his daddy's hand
She said, "Honey let's take him home again."
Skeleton Town, it's a Skeleton Town
Shadows keep moving when the sun goes down
There's plenty of ways to say good-bye
In the darkness the shadows multiply
In Skeleton Town
Joey's mama sat with him every day
With her rosary beads, on her knees she'd pray
The doctor looked down he had nothing to say
He'd never seen a sickness do a man this way
The neighbors started talking then the talking broke down
Someone shouted let's run their asses out of town
Skeleton Town, it's a Skeleton Town
The shadows keep moving when the sun goes down
There's plenty of ways to say good-bye
In the darkness the shadows multiply
Skeleton Town, it's a Skeleton Town
Shadows keep moving when the sun goes down
There's plenty of ways to say good-bye
In the darkness the shadows multiply
In Skeleton Town
