Calling All Skeletons Lyrics

Here it is again yet it stings like the first time
Seems it never ends, Double nickels on your dime
I thought we were friends, i guess it just depends who you ask
These feelings tend to leave me with a hole in my chest

Woah....a hole in my chest

Now the time has come i just wish i could erase
All the damage done to your name and your keepsakes
Its only just begun, its been fun, we were blind deaf and dumb
Theres a party in my closet calling all skeletons

All Skeletons.....Calling All

Where did you go?
When the lights went black
and whats become of me
Ive come to love your disapeering act
do one more pretty please

Now the time has come i just wish i could erase
Saw the damage done, all this pain, all this heartache
Its only just begun, its been fun, we were fucked up and numb
Theres a killer on the corner and he's looking for love

he's....Looking for love
Yeah he's looking for love (you my love)

Where did you go?
When the lights went black
and whats become of me
Ive come to love your disapeering act
do one more pretty please

And to tell you the truth i lost my faith in you
You gotta stop sneaking off on me
And these unspoken Lies appear at the worst times
You Gotta stop sneaking off on me
Theyre hiding just beyond your eyes

Where did you go?
When the lights went black
and whats become of me
Ive come to love your disapeering act
do one more pretty please
Where did you go once the lights went black?
You nearly gave us a heart attack
We thought you might've swam out to sea
You gotta stop sneaking off on me
You gotta stop sneaking off on me

I think he's talking about a friend who's unreliable and disappears on him all the time due to a big drug problem. He probably knew them from back in the day when he had a drug problem too so when they suddenly appear in his life again, it brings back all the skeletons in his closet.

"Seems it never ends, Double nickels on your dime" --Still buying drugs "Theres a killer on the corner and he's looking for love" --Drug dealer looking for them

"And to tell you the truth i lost my faith in you" --He doesn't think they will beat the habit

"And these unspoken Lies appear at the worst times" --They deny it

He basically wants them to disappear again

There's lyrics missing, at the end there's this piece:

Where did you go once the lights went black? You nearly gave us a heart attack We thought you might have swam out to sea You gotta stop sneaking off on me

I think the song is about the bad mixture of comming clean, and getting closer to someone who seems to escape you. I think the reference to "skeletons in one´s closet" is talking about those aspects of you that you get to share only when you get close to someone, the acutal intimacy (not the one related with sex) but this person runs off every time something "new" shows up, everytime they get closer, this person takes a step back "I´ve grown to love your disappearing acts, do one more pretty please!" is a little sarcastic, it´s like saying make up your mind, this makes me sick, so either you like me with all of my skeletons, or you don´t like me and disappear forever.

So many times, we "fall in love" with someone and we idealize this person in our heads, when we start noticing that they are real people with flaws, we might tend to take a step back, so this guy summons all of the little things that had made the other person take that step back to really show himself, so that this person can make a final decision. Staying for him, flaws and all, of leave for good.

i think thiss song may be called 'fruit please' as it is on many youtube videos. and i think this song is just an opener for live shows, which is a petty as it is one of the best tunes i have ever heard. i think the last line is 'silent as cathedral mice on lithium'

Apparently this is actually Calling All Skeletons from the Agony & Irony album, Radio 1 played this song and the radio host named it at the end. So...
